Lyrics
Intro
Look at him lurch in with a tie stuck askew
Mumbling bollocks ‘bout things he never knew
Pocket full of receipts he’ll never bloody check
Throws out advice like a right old wreck
Verse 1
He swears he built the city with his bare damn hands
Can’t fix a tap but he’s making these grand plans
He shouts about cricket and spits in his tea
Rambles on raucous and tipsy with glee
Pre-Chorus
Fetch him a pint before he forgets his name
He’ll spill half of it and curse just the same
Chorus
Your uncle don’t know shit
Struts around like he owns the damn place
Flapping his gums with that guffawing grin
But really don’t know shit
Verse 2
He’s fumbling his change at the bar again
Telling the barman so-called tales of might
Claiming he shook hands with the Queen last spring
And I just roll my eyes at that load of shite
Pre-Chorus
Wears his socks pulled up to his scabby knees
Swears he invented every joke he wheezes
Chorus
Your uncle don’t know shit
Sneers like a lord with a sandwich stuck in his teeth
Rattling nonsense till the pub starts to spin
But really don’t know shit
Post-Chorus
Da-da da da-da
Da-da da da-da
(He don’t know, he don’t know)
Outro
He’ll tell you how the world’s meant to go
But he don’t bloody know
No, your uncle don’t know shit
Coda
He’s spouting off bollocks about Parliament laws
Rants till he turns a bright shade of red
Knows every bloody thing, so he blathers and squawks
But really it’s all shite in his head
Hook
Oi oi oi, he don’t know shit
Oi oi oi, he don’t know jack
Oi oi oi, same old prat
Final Line
Light up another fag, let him yap and spit—
Your uncle don’t know shit
Extended Coda
Wouldn’t know his arse from a hole in the road
Still talks like he’s sprouted the crown
Every pint makes him more of a daft little toad
Parading his twaddle round town
Outro/Tag
He’s full of bollocks, that’s all he’ll admit
Let him witter away in his pit
Raise up your glasses, have one last fit
’Cause your uncle don’t know shit
Outro/Tag
He’s full of bollocks, that’s all he’ll admit
Let him witter away in his pit
Raise up your glasses, have one last fit
’Cause your uncle don’t know shit
