Merry Christmas From The Family Lyrics - Robert Earl Keen

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 

Until he sang 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, Kay 

Who talks all about AA 

Chain smokin' while the stereo plays 

Noel, Noel, the First Noel 

Carve the turkey, turn the ballgame on 

Mix margaritas when the eggnog's gone 

Send somebody to the Quik Pak store 

We need some icing and extension cords 

A can of bean dip and some Diet right 

A box of tampons and some more Burl Ives 

Hallelujah, everybody say cheese 

Merry Christmas from the family 

Fran and Rita drove from Harlogen 

I can't remember how I'm kin to them 

But when they tried to plug their motor home in 

They blew our Christmas lights 

Cousin David knew just what went wrong 

So we all waited out on our front lawn 

He threw the breaker and the lights came on 

And we sang Silent Night, oh Silent Night 

Carve the turkey, turn the ballgame on 

Make 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 tampons and some Salem Lights 

Hallelujah, everybody say cheese 

Merry Christmas from the family 

Feliz Navidad
