Uncle Elwyn (Banter)

[Ed Robertson]
Merci beaucoup, hello! How's it going everybody? Thank you for coming
I'm sure they explained everything that's going on here tonight. My dad's a bit of a nut and he's into his home movie taping, so, this is, you know, it started with just a little palmcorder and then he got the cranes, and you know. So those are my brothers up there working the cranes, it's like, it's a family affair tonight. The craziest-

[Steven Page]
And you think this is crazy, you should have seen it when his wife gave birth!

[Robertson]
The craziest thing is though, you know-

[Page]
They got copters and evеrything over the top

[Robertson]
My dad goes through so much troublе to tape the whole show and he's only gonna show it to my uncle and he doesn't even like the band! You know, "Oh no, watch, Elwyn, you gotta see this part Elwyn, this was great!" Here's a little song about my uncle Elwyn

[Chorus]
It's Uncle Elwyn
It's Uncle Elwyn

[Verse]
My uncle Elwyn is tall, my Elwyn is small
My Elwyn plays a mean basketball
He's about 45, maybe 55, 60
I'm not sure, once he mixed me a drink
I was about 5 years old, it was Coolie and pop, I thought that was cold
Cold meaning good
Cold's supposed to be bad, but I think that I oughta would change some things
And change their meanings
I've been here, I've been demeaning
Once, twice, maybe three times
I asked my uncle Elwyn, he's a mime, he said

[Chorus]
It's Uncle Elwyn, woo
It's Uncle Elwyn, oh

That's E-L-W-Y-N, that's Elwyn, say it again
E-L-W-Y-N, that's Elwyn, say it again
E-L-W-Y-N, that's Elwyn, say it again
E-L-W-Y-N, that's Elwyn, that's my uncle
