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
