My Friend The Chocolate Cake – Uncle Bill's Paddock lyrics

Album: My Friend The Chocolate Cake

Uncle Bill's paddock's a home for the weeds,
it's ruled by the rabbits, they party at dusk,
I s'pose they're all pests but they don't bother me
Like rats in the junkyard down where they belong
the land was eroded before they got there
Amongst the old tyres and the sheep skeletons
Uncle Bill's gumboots live on the back porch,
They squelch through the mud and the puddles and dung
Three sizes too big but that don't bother me.
The old rusted Holden's a flower bed now,
with ten gallon drums of outlawed insect spray,
the flowers are purple yet some call them weeds,
they look kind of jolly, to Molly and me.
