Jack Blanchard and Misty Morgan's "The Family Band"

Jack Blanchard and Misty Morgan

"The Family Band"

We could never understand
Why Mama ran away
'Cause we were all in hog heaven
When the family band would play

Grandma found a brand new sound
Ticklin' her canary
Lord, she made that poor thing sing
Till it wasn't sanitary
Uncle Pete kept a beat
Squeezin' on a frog
Baby sister raised a blister
Gummin' on the dog

Ay yi, ay yi, ay yi, ay yi

Old Aunt Grace sang the bass
Grandpa sang soprano
Papa Joe ran his toes
Up and down the old piano
We could never understand
Why Mama ran away
'Cause we were all in hog heaven
When the family band would play

Ay yi, ay yi, ay yi, ay yi
Ay yi, ay yi, ay yi, ay yi
