Our Family

They let Bubba out of prison

He paid for his crime

He didn't know them bad cheques

Could give him so much time

Sister's getting married

There's a shotgun on the groom

Hope they finish the wedding vows

Before the baby's due

Harry's in the closet

He's been there all his life

Everybody wonders

Why he never took a wife

We owe a lot of bills

Trying to live beyond our means

Ain't got a pot,

But we got cable TV,

But it's our family

Full of skeletons and ghosts

And even with our strange relatives

It's the one we love the most

There may be a bunch of nuts

Up our family tree

Yeah we may all be crazy

But it's still our family

Grandpa's got a girlfriend

A woman half his age

Grandma laughs about it

But I sense the silent rage

And Uncle Burt still thinks

He's on the grand old armoury

That fever from the war

Left him living in a dream

We buried Great Ann-Martha

Out the forest lawns today

Now I think I know why

They Called Great Ann-Martha great

The church was full of strange men

Mama called it a disgrace

She said they should have wiped that

Smile off Great Ann-Marthas face

But it's our family

Full of skeletons and ghosts

And even with our strange relatives

It's the one we love the most

There may be a bunch of nuts

Up our family tree

Yeah we may all be crazy

But its still our family
