Fur (Murray the Furrier)

My uncle Murray the furrier

Was a big worrier

But he's no hurrier

Now, not today



He's good and retired now

Didn't get fired now

Fulfills his desires on

Half of his pay



He eats in the best of dives

Although he dines alone

He buried two wonderful wives

And he still has the princess phone

It's the best of all possible lives

Owning all that he owns on his own



You see, he never took off a lot

And used to cough a lot

Fur in his craw from hot

Days in the store



Worked his way up to the top

Was the steward of the shop

Has a son who is a cop

And he is free



My uncle Murray the retiree

Loves this democracy

And says it very emphatic'ly

He lives where he wishes

When he wants, does the dishes

Eats greasy knishes

Yessirree! He is free



No guilt, no ghost

No gift for no host

He goes coast to coast

Coughing, coughing

My uncle Murray the furrier

No, no worrier he
