Family Reunion

We at the family reunion

Telling jokes and playing spades

Uncle Dave is on the barbeque grill

Grandma braggin' 'bout the blanket she made

For the new baby on her way

Even though the daddy ain't really ready

This child is comin' anyway, yeah

Niecie made her famous potato salad

Somehow it turns out green

Maybe it's all the scallions

Could be the celery

But ol' Uncle Jerome loves it

"Hey, baby, baby, here comes my favorite, my favorite cousin"

He says he's doin' fine, taking it one step a day

But in my heart, I know it ain't that way

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

What can you say? It's family

And, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

What can you say? It's family

Aunt Juicy been drinkin' again, woo

It's only one thirty in the afternoon

Everybody tip-toein' 'round her

We all know, she gonna be tore up soon

Sayin' all the things we'd like to say

Hope she gets around to cousin Lonnie

'Cause we all know he got a little extra

Somebody on the side, but

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

What can you say? It's family (What can you say?)

And, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

What can you say? It's family

Oh, shit, damn, Mickey and Steven are fighting again

"Move out the way, somebody might get hurt"

Aw, look at that, what happened is worse

They knocked over Helenora's lemon cake

You know, the one she barely ever makes

I'm getting riled up, I want them to go

But somebody turned Frankie Beverly on the stereo

Cousin Ruby starts rockin', shakin' her good hip and bobbin'

So we all fall into place, smiling and laughing

And, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (Whoa, whoa, whoa)

What can you say? It's family (What can you say?)

And, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

What can you say? It's family (My family, yeah)

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (What can you say?)

What can you say? It's family

And, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

What can you say?
