Uncle Reggie


Well, I’d say
Smile, smile, smile. I’d tell you, smile, smile, smile 

Chorus (repeated throughout, with variations)

Smile, smile, smile! You’re happy!
Smile, smile, smile! Together!


Reggie 

So what’s a little nepotism between friends?                               They love me! 
Why should you object if we dip in the funds?                               I’m worth it!   

My old cronies should be wealthy, supping among the best      They're happy!
Got the power to take the land, the aid funds and the rest           Believe it!
           
Certain it’s the whites who’ve brought on my distress                 They're crafty!
NGO’s, land-owners, shop-keepers and the press                       I hate them!
 
They say the opposition’s ninety-nine percent black                     Don't tell me!
If that’s so, they should prepare for a sustained attack                 I'll do it!

Won’t be just invective, that has never been my style                    You know it!
Expect the Fifth Brigades and torture squads
        while
               on
                       T V
                              I SMILE!                                                                      I'm immortal!
