Song: Merry Christmas From The Family
Singer: Robert Earl Keen
Mom got drunk and Dad got drunk
at our Christmas party
We were drinking 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
Felis Navidad Felis Navidad Brother Ken
brought his kids with him
the three from his first wifeLynn
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 smoking 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 Quickpak store
We need some ice
and an extension chord
A can of bean dip
and some Diet Rites
A box of tampons Marlboro Lights
Haleluja everybody say Cheese
Merry Christmas from the family
Fred and Rita drove from Harlingen
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 a 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
Make Bloody Mary's '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 Sprites
A box of tampons some Salem Lights
Haleluja everybody say cheese
Merry Christmas from the family Felis Navida
