Uncle Tommy Gabriel, he played the blue piano While Frank and Ava Gardener danced the wild Juaurenzi tango Those were truly golden years my Uncle Tommy said But everything's gone straight to Hell since Sinatra played Juarez I wish life was still like that my Uncle Tommy said But everything's gone straight to Hell since Sinatra played Juarez You could get a cheap divorce, get your Pontiac tuck and rolled You could take your dolly to the dog track in her cheap chinchilla stole. The Fiesta Club, The Chinese Palace, The Old Kentucky Bar The matadors and baseball heroes and great big movie stars. Those were truly golden years my Uncle Tommy said, Cause everything's gone straight to Hell since Sinatra played Juarez Now Uncle Tommy Gabriel he still plays Fats Domino He speaks that border Spanglish well, Heowns a carpet store He lives out on his pecan farm, I don't cross the bridge he says Cause everything's gone straight to Hell since Sinatra played Juarez Those were truly golden years my Uncle Tommy said, But everything's gone straight to Hell since Sinatra played Juarez Everything's gone straight to Hell since Sinatra played Juarez
