Every July third we gather at the lake
Campers cars and suv's from dang near twenty states
We got casseroles and salads made of noodles fruits and meats
A smorgasboard food and personalities
Pam brought her new boyfriend that she met in rehab
Carl is still on crutches from that Vegas weekend he had
Uncle Mike and his partner Mike are grillin' up the steaks
With brother Fred we bow our heads and give the good lord thanks
(Chorus)
We got hicks and hillbillies
Pillars of communities
Rebels and yankees
Saints and circus freaks
We got In-laws and outlaws
And no good sob's
But we just call it family
When Amy found another lonely fish to take the bait
The preacher called him Eddie but we just called him number eight
Before they'd even lost their tanlines from the honeymoon
8 caught her in a threesome with husbands five and two
(Repeat Chorus)
When crazy uncle Johnny finally passed away
We gathered in our Sunday best and sang amazing grace
In accordance with his wishes we fulfilled his last request
As we did purple hooter shooters and laid him down to rest
In his pretty purple dress
(Repeat Chorus)
I might not not like 'em
But I love 'em all
With them around
Hell life's a ball
And I'm proud to call 'em all
Family
