It's a family affair,  it's a family affair
 One child grows up to be
 Somebody that just loves to learn
 And another child grows up to be
 Somebody you'd just love to burn
 Mom loves the both of them
 You see it's in the blood
 Both kids are good to Mom
 "Blood's thicker than mud"
 It's a family affair,  it's a family affair
 Newlywed a year ago
 But you're still checking each other out
 Nobody wants to blow
 Nobody wants to be left out
 You can't leave, 'cause your heart is there
 But you can't stay, 'cause you been somewhere else!

 You can't cry, 'cause you'll look broke down
 But you're cryin' anyway 'cause you're all broke down!

 It's a family affair
 It's a family affair
