My Uncle Was the Dairy Dan

My childhood didn't last
I grew up much too fast
But I still do recall the Autumn leaves that fall
I remember it all Mmm I remember it all

Winter nights were cold
But we knew soon they'd fall prey to spring
Then all the trees would sing promises of spring
I remember everything Oh I remember everything

Summer days so full of wonder everything was grand
Everything was cool man cool man coz I new the Dairy Dan
Ah yes I knew me the Dairy Dan

The sixth of nine I was
A roller-coaster of life it was
But whatever hard times were mine times that by nine
That was my mother's life Oh that was our mother's life

No no we couldn't know back then We didn't know
We'd come to cherish those hard times then All of those times
So sure we had it so tough never having enough wondering
Could it have been worse? Yeah a little bit worse
OK somebody somewhere had it just a little bit worse
It sure could have been a whole lot worse

Yeah summer days so full of wonder everything was grand everything was grand
Everything was cool man coz Uncle Duke he was the Dairy Dan
Ah yes uncle was the Dairy Dan

I spent those days wanting tomorrow
But lately I long for yesterday
Now it's my you youth I'm begging to borrow

I'm gonna go if I ever can go
I'm gonna get me a double-dip cone
I'm gonna go if I ever can go
I'm gonna get me a doubledipcone

Summer days so full of wonder everything was grand Everything was grand
Not a worry in the world Not a worry in the world Everything was cool Everything was cool
And your double-dip is free man Your double-dip is free Your double-dip is free man
When your uncle is the Dairy Dan Ah yeah when your uncle is the Dairy Dan
Ahmy uncle was a Dairy Dan My uncle was a Dairy Dan Man
All the ice cream you could eat man Just leave your worries on the street man
When your uncle is the Dairy Dan My uncle was a Dairy Dan My Uncle was a Dairy Dan
