That's what Uncle Remus said,

That's what Uncle Remus said.

Music Chorus:
Speckle trout and polka dots.

Solo:
That's how the leopard got his spots

Music Chorus:
More, more, tell us more.

Solo:
The camel crossed the desert sands,

Music Solo:
with all them mighty caravans.

His bed was full of sandy lumps,

Music Solo:
That's how the camel got those humps.

Music Chorus:
That's what Uncle Remus said,

that's what Uncle Remus said.

Music Chorus:
Sandy bed was full of lumps...

Solo:
That's how the camel got those humps.

Music Chorus:
More, more, tell us more.

Solo:
The pig he saw his monkey friend,

Music Solo:
A swinging by his other end.

He tried the same thing on a rail.

Music Solo:
That's how the pig got a curly tail.
