Lyrics
Uncle Jolly he came strollin' down the sidewalk
Uncle Jolly is casually walking down the sidewalk.
A tiny white silk suit on and a certain way of steppin' out
He's wearing a small white silk suit and has a distinctive way of walking.
He had a bright green yo yo which he dangled from his fingers
Uncle Jolly holds a bright green yo-yo that he swings from his fingers.
Flicked it quickly one time like this and he turned around to shout he said
He quickly flicks the yo-yo and shouts out a message.
Keep alright rockin' to like this
Repetition of an invitation to keep rocking in a specific manner.
Keep alright rockin' to like that
-Keep alright rockin' to like this
-Keep alright rockin' to it just like that
-The parrot on his shoulder was a s orange as the sunset and his shades were castin moonbeams on everyone he saw
Uncle Jolly has a parrot on his shoulder with vibrant colors.
In his pockets he had peso's which he scattered to the children who whirled and twirled around him and came dancin' to his call
He distributes peso's (currency) to children who dance around him.
Keep alright rockin' to like this
Repetition of the invitation to keep rocking in a specific manner.
Keep alright rockin' to like that

-Keep alright rockin' to it just like that
-Uncle jolly who could you be your a cosmic mystery
Questions about Uncle Jolly's identity, appearance, and a request for something he possesses.
You dress so funky and you dance so free
-Would you could you would give me some of what you got I said what you got for me
-The secret is Uncle Jolly takes a hike up to the top of a mountain
Uncle Jolly's secret: he hikes to the top of a mountain regularly.
And he lights a little fire up there at some point every day
He lights a small fire at the mountain top daily.
He simply asks for guidance and the courage to be faithful
He seeks guidance and courage to be faithful during this ritual.
And then he's up and dancin' and he sings along the way
Afterward, he joyfully dances and sings on his way back.
Keep alright rockin' to like this

Keep alright rockin' to like that
