Family Tree (by Terry Banks)

Grandma’s in the kitchen she’s been cooking up a storm
Grandpa comes and joins her cuz he likes it where it’s warm
While Mom and Dad are upstairs making up the beds
The kids crash in the basement such little sleepy heads

Seeds that were sown so many years ago
Finally have roots that took time and love to grow
It’s hard to imagine what my life might be
If I didn’t have these branches in my Family Tree

My Brothers, my Sisters and my Cousins are my friends
When we get together we have fun that never ends
All my Aunts and Uncles are so very dear to me
They’re all pieces in the puzzle of the DNA that’s me

Seeds that were sown so many years ago
Finally have roots that took time and love to grow
It’s hard to imagine what my life might be
If I didn’t have these branches in my Family Tree

Ooh Ooh

Someday when I’m older and I’ve found myself a Wife
We’ll start a little family and live a happy life
This circle won’t be broken it just keeps on going round
Cuz our love for one another are the ties by which we’re bound

Seeds that were sown so many years ago
Finally have roots that took time and love to grow
It’s hard to imagine what my life might be
If I didn’t have these branches in my Family Tree

Now you might think I’m crazy
But that’s alright with me
Cuz I’m the BIGGEST NUT
In my Family Tree
Oh yeah
