Springtime in Uganda - Blaze Foley
Capo 2nd fret to match the recording on "The Dawg Years"
[Verse]
E A E
Idi Amin should be hung by his nose
E B7 E
In front of his palace without any clothes
E A E
Tied up with barbed wire and beat up with sticks
E B7 E
Relieved of his insides and filled up with bricks
[Verse]
E A E
He calls on his neighbors for three meals a day
E B7 E
He don't save his scraps he just throws them away
E A E
Hangs them and shoots them and tells God they died
E B7 E
He likes them toasted and pickled and fried
[Verse]
E A E
Kampala, Uganda on Saturday night
E B7 E
Idi Amin just stepped out for a bite
E A E
The waitress she ask him, "Can I help you please?"
E B7 E
Platter of elbows, a bowl full of knees
[Verse]
E A E
He has got medals all over his chest
E B7 E
He didn't win them he stole them I guess
E A E
Ears in his pockets and eyes in his stew
E B7 E
Don't try to stop him 'cause he might eat you (chomp chomp, chomp chomp)
[Verse]
E A E
Newspapers say he's got social disease
E B7 E
He screams in the bathroom whenever he pees
E A E
His sons and his daughters got syphilitic brains
E B7 E
They don't even plug in their electric trains (poor kids)
[Verse]
E A E
Idi Amin just got married again
E B7 E
Instead of champagne they served penicillin
E A E
Rings on his fingers and sores on his toes
E B7 E
His shankers go with him wherever he goes
