They let Bubba out of prison

He paid for his crime

He didn't know them bad cheques

Could give him so much time.



Sister's getting married

There's a shotgun on the groom

Hope they finish the wedding vows

Before the baby's due.



Harry's in the closet

He's been there all his life

Everybody wonders

Why he never took a wife.



We owe a lot of bills

Trying to live beyond our means

Ain't got a pot, 

But we got cable TV.



Chorus:

But it's our family

Full of skeletons and ghosts

And even with our strange relatives

It's the one we love the most

There may be a bunch of nuts

Up our family tree

Yeah, we may all be crazy 

But it's still our family.



Grandpa's got a girlfriend

A woman half his age

Grandma laughs about it

But I sense the silent rage.



And Uncle Burt still thinks 

He's on the grand old armoury

That fever from the war

Left him living in a dream.



We buried great aunt Martha

Out the forest lawns today

Now I think I know why

They called great Aunt Martha great.



The church was full of strange men

Mama called it a disgrace

She said they should have wiped that smile

Off great aunt Marthas face.



Chorus:

But it's our family

Full of skeletons and ghosts

And even with our strange relatives

It's the one we love the most

There may be a bunch of nuts

Up our family tree

Yeah, we may all be crazy 

But its still our family...
