There's a portrait of Uncle Alvarez

Hangin' in the hall

Nobody wants to look at it

But Uncle Alvarez sees us all

Oh oh oh imaginary accomplishments

Hey hey hey you visionary guy

You might even

shake the hands of presidents

Better send a postcard and

keep the family quiet

He's not really part-Cherokee indian

He didn't fight in the Civil War

He's just Eugene Isaac Alvarez

He feels sorry for the wall

Oh oh oh imaginary accomplishments

Hey hey hey you visionary guy

You might even

shake the hands of presidents

You're gonna make sorry when you die

And it's a long way down

You were hoping for a heart-attack

Running around investing on this and that

Your beautiful wife

keeps your life on a shelf for you

Safe in a better way

There's no dust or mildew and

It's hard to believe

you were once a beautiful dancer

Better just to shake it off

As you write your resume

Don't think of Uncle Alvarez

And the price he had to pay

Oh oh oh imaginary accomplishments

Hey hey hey you visionary guy

You might even

shake the hands of presidents

You're gonna make them sorry

when you die

Oh oh oh imaginary accomplishments

Hey hey hey you visionary guy

You might even

shake the hands of presidents

Better send some money to the Alma Mater
