Merry Christmas From the Family
by Robert Earl Keen Jr.
GMom got drunk and C9Dad got drunk
GAt our Christmas C9party
GWe were drinkin' Emchampagne punch
And Chomemade eggDnog
GLittle sister brought her C9new boyfriend
GHe was a C9Mexican
GWe didn't know what to Emthink of him
'Til he Csang Feliz NaviDdad
Feliz NaviGdad
Brother Ken brought his kids with him
The three from his first wife Lynn
And the two identical twins
>From his second wife MaryNell
Of course he brought his new wife Kaye
Who talks all about AA
Chain smokin' while the stero plays
Noel, Noel, The first Noel
CHORUS:
DCarve the turkey turn the ball game on
CMix Margaritas when the eggnog's gone
DSend somebody to the Quik-Pak store
CWe need some ice and an extention cord
DA can of bean dip and some Diet Rite
CA box of tampons and some Marlboro Lights
GHallelujah everyEmbody say cheese
CMerry Christmas from the DfamiGly
Fran and Rita drove from Harlingen
I can't remember how I'm kin to them
But when they tried to plug their motorhome in
They blew our christmas lights
Cousin David knew just what went wrong
So we all waited on our front lawn
He threw the breaker and the lights came on
And we sang Silent Night
Oh Silent Night
CHORUS:
Carve the turkey turn the ballgame on
Make Bloody Marys cause we all want one
Send somebody to the Stop 'n Go
We need some celery and a can of fake snow
A bag of lemons and some Dite Sprite
A box of tampons and some Salem Lights
Hallelujah everybody say cheese
Merry Christmas from the family
Feliz Navidad.
