Lyrics
"Uncle Earl's Got a Drone"
By Yves Stilmant © 2025
Verse 1A
Uncle Earl got a drone off Craigslist cheap,
He flies it 'round like a drunk-eyed sheep.
Buzzed past the porch and through the clothesline,
Took out Mama's bloomers hangin' to dry.
Verse 1B
Swooped in low while she baked her prize,
That cherry pie took a nosedive -- surprise!
Now there's dough on the curtains, jam on the floor,
And Earl's laughin' like a fool out the screen door.
Pre-Chorus
Grandma's prayin', dog is gone,
Cat's under the trailer holdin' on...
Chorus
Uncle Earl's got a drone -- Lord help us all,
Scarin' the chickens and paintin' the wall.
He don't know tech but he sure knows fun,
Now the neighbor's pool got a cherry bombed sun.
Granny's yellin' "Jesus take the remote!"
Horse kicked the barn and the goat lost hope.
We got chaos flyin' in our no-fly zone --
Since Uncle Earl got a drone.
Verse 2A
He flew it through the outhouse last July,
Knocked Grandpa's hat straight into the sky.
The preacher stopped by to bless our kin,
But Earl's drone cam caught him scratchin' his chin.
Verse 2B
Now we're viral stars on the internet stream,
With pie on the lens and a hound dog scream.
A squirrel rode it once -- then bailed too fast,
We ain't sure where he landed, but it shook the grass.
Pre-Chorus
Mama's cryin', "Earl, you clown!"
As the drone crash-landed in her wedding gown...
Chorus
Uncle Earl's got a drone -- duck your head,
Took out the rooster and the garden shed.
He don't fly right but he sure flies loud,
Tagged the water tower with a puff of cloud.
Now he's banned from the county zone --
Since Uncle Earl got a drone.
Bridge (Guitar Solo + Mayhem)
Sound of chickens flappin', pie splattin', a hound howlin' in D, and a horse gallopin' into the horizon while someone yells "Earl nooo!"
Final Chorus
Uncle Earl's got a drone -- and a plan so dumb,
He taped a firecracker to its bum.
Mama ducked, the cow took off,
We lost a ham and Grandpa's cough.
It's a miracle we're still flesh and bone --
Since Uncle Earl got a drone.
