That's what Uncle Remus said.
That's what Uncle Remus said.
Listen now to what I say:
That's how the critters got that way.
The leopard's pappy got the gout,
From eatin' too much speckled trout
His mammy dreamed of polka dots—
That's how the leopard got his spots
That's what Uncle Remus said,
That's what Uncle Remus said.
Speckled trout and polka dots—
That's how the leopard got his spots
More, more, tell us more!
The camel crossed the dessert sands,
With all them mighty caravans
His bed was full of sandy lumps—
That's how the camel got those humps
That's what Uncle Remus said,
That's what Uncle Remus said
Bed was full of sandy lumps—
That's how the camel got those humps.
More, more, tell us more!
The piggy saw his monkey friend,
A-swinging by his other end
He tried the same thing on a rail—
That's how the pig got a curly tail
That's what Uncle Remus said,
That's what Uncle Remus said.
Tried the same thing on a rail—
That's how the pig got a curly tail
More, more, tell us more!
More, more, tell us more!

Uncle Remus,
Uncle Remus,
Uncle Remus said,
Gather 'round me little children
Before you go to bed
Just give me your attention
Hear what I've got to say
I'll tell you how the animals got that way
(verse 1)
The leopard's pappy got the gout,
From eatin' too much speckled trout.
His mammy dreamed of polka dots—
That's how the leopard got his spots.
That's what Uncle Remus said,
That's what Uncle Remus said.
From speckled trout and polka dots—
That's how the leopard got his spots.
More, more, tell us more!
(verse 2)
The camel crossed the dessert sands,
With all them mighty caravans.
His bed was full of sandy lumps—
That's how the camel got them humps.
That's what Uncle Remus said,
That's what Uncle Remus said.
His bed was full of sandy lumps—
That's how the camel got them humps.
More, more, tell us more!
(verse 3)
They threw the fox into a cage
But Brother Fox is very sage
He used his tail to pick the locks
And that's why they call him "sly old fox"
That's what Uncle Remus said,
That's what Uncle Remus said.
He used his tail to pick the locks
And that's why they call him "sly old fox"
More, more, tell us more!
(verse 4)
Brother Turtle and Brother Hare,
They ran a race and I was there
The hare dropped in at Barney's Place
And that's how the turtle won the race
That's what Uncle Remus said,
That's what Uncle Remus said.
The hare dropped in at Barney's Place
And that's how the turtle won the race
More, more, tell us more!
(verse 5)
The little ostrich went to school
But couldn't learn the golden rule
The kids all yelled, "Is your face red?!"
And that's why the ostrich hides his head
That's what Uncle Remus said,
That's what Uncle Remus said.
The kids all yelled, "Is your face red?!"
That's why the ostrich hides his head
More, more, tell us more!
(verse 6)
The piggy saw his monkey friend,
A-swinging by his other end
He tried the same thing on a rail—
And that's why the pig's got a curly tail
That's what Uncle Remus said,
That's what Uncle Remus said.
He tried the same thing on a rail—
That's why the pig's got a curly tail.
That's all, little children
That's all, little children
Be good, little children
It's time to go to bed
No more, little children
No more, little children
It's time to go to bed,
No more, little children
No more, little children
Good night, little children
That's what Uncle Remus said
