Uncle Cyril
Well everybody's got an Uncle Cyril
That one who's always
There's loads of Uncle Fred
and Aunty Dowger
I only met him once, my Uncle Cyril
Whose name was really Frank,
You can play fair and square,
it don't get you anywhere.
So if you can't get the man,
G

get the boy.
My Uncle Cyril, he was not a gentleman
Trust him as far as you
He'd do them wrong from
Dagenham to Cheltenham
Then he'd have a fag and
We still stood for the Queen
and said our prayers
But the Americans was at
And we played the rules
D
G
My Uncle Cyril done the same at home
If you can't get the man, get the ball

You can play fair and square,
it don't get you anywhere

C
G
He ended up in Papua New Guinea
And he was all a five foot half
point nothing
Doing nothing much while
They'd come back once
for Margo's operation
C
Left the curtains just that little bit apart
G
Of more than just that tin bob at the station
D
G
He left a little touch of mayhem in my heart
If you can't get the man, get the ball
You can play fair and square,
it don't get you anywhere.
If you can't get the man, get the ball.
You can play fair and square,
it don't get you anywhere.
D
G
If you can't get the man, get the ball.
