Our Family Tree

Carol:

I feel a mighty quake

The south begins to shake

Under our family tree

The leaves begin to blow

Gone with the wind they go

All through our family tree

Up top magnolias bloom

They spread their sweet perfume

For this ancestral jubilee

Now every bough must pull

It's weight

It's time to prune and propagate

So welcome to our family tree

Roger:

I hear the dogwood's bark

A seed's begun to spark

Inside our family tree

A twig begins to poke

From out that mighty oak

To join the jamboree

And like a slide trombone

He glides out fully grown

A dixieland r.s.v.p.

And no one minds an extra limb

Carol:

Especially when it looks like him!

Roger & carol:

So welcome to our family tree

Brenda & ladies:

I feel a burst of spring

My trunk begins to swing

Just like our family tree

The cousins come to call

They'll stay until next fall

'Cause there's lots of fixins

And they're free

Men:

Save some of that gumbo for me

Brenda & ladies:

The kin folk gather 'round

They've convered lots of ground

There's not a soul left in tennessee

Brenda:

They've all arrived to germinate

To fertilize and

Brenda & ladies:

Cultivate

And populate our family tree

Frank jr:

I'll give a rebel yell

To every southern belle

Under our family tree

I'll swing the second line

When our two clans

Combine

For some big...

Frank jr & all:

... Easy harmony

Frank jr:

Trumpets begin to shout

To welcome your new sprout

You've charmed this yankee refugee

You're all so lush and overgrown

But I know I'll never be alone

I'm glad to climb your family tree

Frank jr & the strongs:

Your love has raised the bar

I'm swingin' on a star

Frank jr:

For that who needs a law degree?!?

Ladies:

The trees that bear the ripest fruits

Men:

Are tree that have the deepest roots, so...

All:

Welcome to our family

Welcome to our familly

Frank jr:

I'm

All:
