Family Tree by John Forster & Tom Chapin
BCefore the days of Jello Lived a pGrehistoric fellow, Who loved a maid and courted her  Beneath the banyan trCee. And they had lots of children. And their chiGldren all had children. And they kept on having children  Until one of them had Cme!
Chorus:
CWe're a family and Fwe're Ca tree. Our roots go deep down iGn history From my greFat-great-Ggranddaddy rFeaching up Cto me We're a green and grGowing FfamilyC tree.
Verse 2 My grandpa came from Russia; My grandma came from Prussia; They met in Nova Scotia,  Had my dad in Tennessee. Then they moved to Yokohama Where Daddy met my Mama. Her dad's from Alabama and her mom's part Cherokee. Repeat Chorus Verse 3 Well one fine day I may go To Tierra Del Fuego. Perhaps I'll meet my wife there  And we'll move to Timbuktu. And our kid will be bilingual, And though she may stay single, She could, of course, comingle with the King of Kathmandu. Repeat Chorus Verse 4 The folks in Madagascar Aren't the same as in Alaskar; They got different foods, different moods, and different colored skin. You may have a different name,  But underneath we're much the same; You're probably my cousin and the whole world is our kin. Repeat Chorus 2x
