Merry Christmas From the Family Lyrics
Mom got drunk and dad got drunk
At our Christmas party
We were drinkin’ champagne punch
And homemade eggnog
Little sister brought her new boyfriend
He was a Mexican
We didn’t know what to think of him
‘Til he sang Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad!
Brother Ken brought his kids with him
The three from his first wife, Lynn
And the two identical twins
From his second wife, Mary Nell
Of course he brought his new wife Kaye
Who talks all about AA
Chain smokin’ while the stereo plays
Noel, Noel, the first Noel.
Carve the turkey, turn the ball game on
Mix margaritas when the eggnog’s gone
Send somebody to the Quick-Pak store
We need some ice and an extension cord
A can of bean dip and some Diet-Rite
A box of Pampers, some Marlboro Lights
Hallelujah, everybody say “cheese”
Merry Christmas from the family
Fran and Rita drove from Harlingen
I can’t remember how I’m kin to them
But when they tried to plug their motorhome in
They blew our Christmas lights
Cousin David knew just what went wrong
So we all waited on our front lawn
He threw the breaker and the lights came on
And we sang Silent Night
Oh silent night, oh holy night
Carve the turkey, turn the ball game on
Mix Bloody Marys ’cause we all want one
Send somebody to the Stop ‘n’ Go
We need some celery and a can of fake snow
A bag of lemons and some Diet Sprite
A box of Midol, some Salem Lights
Hallelujah, everybody say “cheese”
Merry Christmas from the family
Feliz Navidad
