It's so nice to see

All the folks you love together

Sittin' and talkin' 'bout

All the things that's been goin' down



It's been a long, long time

Since we had a chance to get together

Nobody knows the next time we see each other

Maybe years and years from now



Family reunion (Got to have)

A family reunion

Family reunion

(It's so nice to come together) To come together

(To get together)



I wish grandma could see

The whole family

I sure miss her face

And her warm and tender embrace



And if grandpa was here

I know he'd be smiling for me a tear

To see what he has done

All the offsprings from his daughters and sons



A family reunion (Gonna have)

A family reunion (Ooh, ooh)

Family reunion

(It's so nice to come together) To come together

(To get together)



Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...

Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...

At least once a year we should have



Family reunion

A family reunion (We need to do it for the young )

Family reunion

(It'll be nice, it'll be nice to come together) To come together

To get together



Family reunion (Sister knows, heaven knows)

A family reunion (It's good to see you)

Family reunion (I said we are sinkin' hands, makin' plans)

(Maybe next year) To come together (Maybe next year)



A family reunion (Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...)

A family reunion (We gotta have, we gotta have)

Family reunion (It'll be nice, it'll be so nice)

(To come together) To come together

(To get together)



You know the family is the solution to the world's problems today

Now let's take a look at the family

In the family the father is like the head, the leader, the director

Not domineering, but showing love, guidance

For everyone else in the family

Now if we could get all the fathers of the world

To stand up and be fathers

That would be great

Then we have mothers

Who are the right arm of the father

There's supposed to-to-to do the cooking

Raise the children, do the sewing

And help the father to guide and direct

Then there's the son

The son, most sons are like imitators of their father

So we're back again to the father

And he is guiding in the right way

The son is definitely gonna be alright

Then we have the daughter

Watching her mother

Be-because sooner or later she's gonna be a mother

And she'll have her own sons and daughters

It don't, it don't just stop there with the family or

Of-of yours or mine

It's a universal family

Under one divine purpose

And one divine father

That is if we all come together no matter what color, race, creed

Because that's all in the head whether you wanna believe it or not

'Cause you'll bleed



Hoo...

Family, family reunion

It'll be nice, so nice, so nice
