Extended Family I’ve got a Pennsylvania Papa
And a big Miami Mama
Lots of brothers and sisters in between
From L.A. to Nova Scotia
When my Mama took a notion
She would change our papas like a pair of jeans
From November through September
We do most of all our living
Scattered somewhere from New York to Abilene
But we try to get together
For the family reunion
Once a year we all go home for Halloween
Chorus:
We’re separated but we’re blended as can be
We’re grafted in but we’re proud of our family tree
Sociology may say we form a muddy pool of genes
We’re just your typical extended family
There’ll be kin folk by the dozen
Like my first or second cousin
Who’s my uncle on my second daddy’s side
He’s just ten days out of prison
And my sister they call Mister
Is the one he’s now a wantin’ for his bride
My half brother Bill’s a stripper
And the quarter one’s a drifter
Floatin’ high on angel dust and he’s so glad
His ex-wife, my sister Becky’s gonna send the kids
So they can spend some quality time with their dad
(Repeat Chorus)
Little Suzie just can’t make it
And she says she aint a takin’
No more beatin’ from her boy friend again
And as soon as she recovers
From the bullet from her other lover
She thinks they can still be best of friends
Her baby Buzz has started drinkin’
And it’s messin’ up his thinkin’
He’s drying out somewhere in Tupelo
She just called to say "Hello"
And tomorrow she’ll be goin’
With her husband on the Jerry Springer Show
