Uncle Dave
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
uncle dave he misbehaved
he painted the firetruck green
even though he painted the firetruck green
that don't mean that he is mean
uncle dave he misbehaved
he ate all the food on the plane
even though he ate all the food on the plane
that don't mean he won't eat again
uncle dave he misbehaved
he took the train to brooklyn
even though he took the train to brooklyn
that don't mean he ain't good lookin'
uncle dave he misbehaved
he changed his name to tony
even though he changed his name to tony
that don't mean that he's a phony
uncle dave he misbehaved
he said he didn't like this song
even though he said he didn't like this song
that don't mean he won't sing along
uncle dave he misbehaved
he forgot to fold up his pants
even though he forgot to fold up his pants
that don't mean they're full of ants
