Uncle Poncho

Uncle Poncho, you always had a lot to say

Giving out advice and bossing us along the way

You were sharp as a tack, with a heart so wide

Keeping all your friends and your family by your side

You loved a good laugh, you loved a good joke

The smartest guy in the room every time you spoke

Oh, we’re gonna miss running into you

At the bars and the gatherings when the week is through

Gonna miss that big smile lighting up the space

And the funny way you brought joy to every single place

You are loved by so many that you left behind

But we can't wait to see you further down the line

So many great memories out at the park

You were teasing us all from the morning till the dark

You’d tell on us quick just to see us react

Then you’d laugh at us loud, and we loved you for that

Cruising around in your scooter so free

Always hanging with the crowd and the whole family

Oh, we’re gonna miss running into you

At the bars and the gatherings when the week is through

Gonna miss that big smile lighting up the space

And the funny way you brought joy to every single place

You are loved by so many that you left behind

But we can't wait to see you further down the line

We're celebrating you, so we'll raise up a glass

To a life full of love and the good times that passed

Every time that we gather and share a good joke

We'll be thinking of you and the wisdom you spoke

Yeah, we’re gonna miss running into you

At the bars and the gatherings when the week is through

Gonna miss that big smile lighting up the space

And the funny way you brought joy to every single place

Uncle Poncho, you're loved by the ones left behind

Keep cruising on ahead till we see you next time
