lyrics

“Snap it pal, snap it!”, “I’m walkin’ out!”
“Oh yeah!” is what it’s all about!
Pictures on the wall and Happy Birthdays for the fans
The Uncle Floyd television show is the best show in the land . . .

Chuck Littlehat from Sloatsburg and Julia Stepchild
Jim Monaco and Skip Rooney they make the show just wild
The Foreign Language Program and Ricardo Romantico
Joe Frankfurter, Kernel Korn, and don’t forget Eddie Slobbo . . .

Doctor Whatsthematter, Bob the Mechanic, and Mr. Brown Jeans
Netto on the mandolin and Mugsy on the six-strings
Mr and Mrs Jones, Oogie, and Joe Airhead
Angelo Mufunzalo and anyone I ain’t already said . . .

Now for the one at the piano, the one who does so much
The one who without him the show wouldn’t be as such
To the creator the thanks must go
Thanks for all the laughs Mr. Floyd Vivino . . .

about

From the generation of 70's suburban basement garage folk pop rock kids who wanted to grab a guitar and write a song and become their own Bob, Neil, Bruce, Steve (Forbert) etc. This is my musical universe. My suburban life!
