Family reunion, fourth of July It's been three years since I've seen it Now I remember why Aunt Charlotte's at the door Big smile on her face the first thing she says to me, "Looks like you've gained some weight" You only get that kind of honesty from family  Uncle Joe's getting plastered Aunt Marthe's getting mad Same old cousin Doug Same old jokes, same old bad Mama has to keep reminding me Son, they're family  A few new babies, the same old crazies I've known 'em my whole life and they still amaze me I didn't choose 'em, but I'd hate to lose 'em 'Cause you gotta love 'em, they're family  Cousin Linda showed up, with her new sweetheart I had to laugh when daddy whispered Fifth time might be the charm And there's a brother Lester Lives in the city just flew in All the way from way out yonder We're still not sure about him  But different as we are it's good to be, a family A few new babies, the same old crazies I've known 'em my whole life and they still amaze me I didn't choose 'em wouldn't wanna lose 'em But you gotta love 'em, man they're family  When mama said the blessings she was fightin' back the tears 'Cause the last time we were all together Grandpa was here and she knew how proud he'd be And how much he'd love to see  A few new babies, the same old crazies I've known 'em my whole life and they still amaze me Don't get to choose 'em, but you hate to lose 'em You gotta love 'em 'cause they're family Family reunion, fourth of July It's been three years since I've seen it now I remember why
