Merry Christmas From the Family
by Robert Earl Keen Jr.
G C9Mom got drunk and Dad got drunk
G C9At our Christmas party
G EmWe were drinkin' champagne punch
C DAnd homemade eggnog
G C9Little sister brought her new boyfriend
G C9Be was a Mexican
G EmWe didn't know what to think of him
C D'Til he sang Feliz Navidad
GFeliz Navidad
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
CBoRUS:
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
G EmBallelujah everybody say cheese
C D GMerry Christmas from the family
Fran and Rita drove from Barlingen
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
Be threw the breaker and the lights came on
And we sang Silent Night
Oh Silent Night
CBoRUS:
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
Ballelujah everybody say cheese
Merry Christmas from the family
Feliz Navidad.
