SWINGING ON THE FAMILY TREE

It's Saturday afternoon, one o'clock, Granny's house
Grandpapa says Aunt Sarah's
bringing her brand new spouse
Uncle Mel, who the hell is he?
Well he'll miss out if he comes late 'cause
picking apples from the apple tree
and filling up a wooden crate
has easily got to be, altogether, really fun
with your family

Did anyone ever tell you that
you've got your daddy's brains,
you've got your mommy's looks?
But I can't seem to pinpoint your personality
Swinging on the family tree
Swinging on the family tree
Swinging on the family tree
Swinging on

Cousins and nephews, some twice removed
Aunties and uncles, some act removed
Granny and Grandpa are very confused
not which is which but just who is who


You've got your daddy's thoughts,
you've got your mommy's smerks
Swinging on the family tree
Swinging on the family tree
Swinging on the family tree
Swinging on

The cool little breeze, these marvellous trees
It's almost a state of sweet utter bliss
But drinking my family's sharp apple cider
is getting me mentally utterly pissed

Swinging on the family tree
Swinging on the family tree
Swinging on the family tree
Swinging
