Uncle John

A stranger in town, strutting around

He's so impeccably dressed

Suited up to succeed

Asked if I knew where he'd find work teaching kids

His twisted smile gave me the creeps as he said that (said that, said that)

Was it the work or a child that he needs?

Oh, dangerous came

Say, have you met "Uncle John?"

That's what the kids lovingly called him

Save them before they are gone

Down the dark path to the predator's sanctuary

I'd seen his face, somewhere, some place

Was it the news of the world

Or one of those Sunday rags?

This can't be him, let me look

Wait a minute, it is

He taught in schools, subjects diverse (diverse, diverse, diverse)

Hiding so well his perverted course

Oh, dangerous came

Say, have you met "Uncle John?"

That's what the kids lovingly called him

Save them before they are gone

Down the dark path to the predator's sanctuary

His persona divine

Disturbingly sweet

He's perfected his craft

Hiding lust and deceit

And the innocents suffer

As he has his way

Say, have you met "Uncle John?"

That's what the kids lovingly called him

Save them before they are gone

Down the dark path to the predator's sanctuary

Say, have you met "Uncle John?"

Save them before they are gone
