Lyrics

That's what Uncle Remus said.

That's what Uncle Remus said.

Listen now to what I say:

That's how the critters got that way.

The leopard's pappy got the gout,

From eatin' too much speckled trout.

His mammy dreamed of polka dots—

That's how the leopard got his spots.

That's what Uncle Remus said.

That's what Uncle Remus said.

Speckled trout and polka dots—

That's how the leopard got his spots.

More, more, tell us more!

The camel crossed the dessert sands,

With all them mighty caravans.

His bed was full of sandy lumps—

That's how the camel got those humps.

That's what Uncle Remus said.

That's what Uncle Remus said.

Bed was full of sandy lumps—

That's how the camel got those humps.

More, more, tell us more!

The pig he saw his monkey friend,

A-swinging by his other end.

He tried the same thing on a rail—

That's how the pig got a curly tail.

That's what Uncle Remus said.

That's what Uncle Remus said.

Tried the same thing on a rail—

That's how the pig got a curly tail.

More, more, tell us more!

More, more, tell us more!
