(Our) Family Tree Lyrics > Catch Me If You Can

CAROL
I feel a mighty quake
The south begins to shake
Under our family tree

The leaves begin to blow
Gone with the wind they go
All through our family tree

Up top magnolias bloom
They spread their sweet perfume
For this ancestral jubilee

Now every bough must pull it's weight
It's time to prune and propagate
Welcome to our family tree

ROGER
I hear the dogwood's bark
A seed's begun to spark
Inside our family tree

A twig begins to poke
From out that mighty oak
To join the jamboree

And like a slide trombone
He glides out fully grown
A dixieland R.S.V.P.

And no one minds an extra limb

CAROL
Especially when it looks like him!

ROGER & CAROL
So welcome to our family tree

BRENDA & LADIES
I feel a burst of spring
My trunk begins to swing
Just like our family tree

The cousins come to call
They'll stay until next fall
'Cause there's lots of fixins
And they're free

MEN
Save some of that gumbo for me

BRENDA & LADIES
The kin folk gather 'round
They've covered lots of ground
There's not a soul left in Tennessee

BRENDA
They've all arrived to germinate
To fertilize and

BRENDA & LADIES
Cultivate
And populate our family tree

FRANK JR.
I'll give a rebel yell
To every southern belle
Under our family tree

I'll swing the second line
When our two clans combine
For some big.....

ALL
...Easy harmony

FRANK JR.
Trumpets begin to shout
To welcome your new sprout
You've charmed this yankee refugee

You're all so lush and overgrown
But I know I'll never be alone
I'm glad to climb your family tree

FRANK JR & THE STRONGS
Your love has raised the bar
I'm swingin' on a star

FRANK JR.
For that who needs a law degree?!?!

LADIES
The trees that bear the ripest fruits

MEN
Are trees that have the deepest roots, so....

ALL
Welcome to our family
Welcome to our family

FRANK JR.
I'm

ALL
Welcome to the family tree!

FRANK JR.
Look out old Frankie is home!

ALL
Yeah!
