Lyrics Merry Christmas From The Family - Robert Earl Keen

Mom got drunk and Dad got drunk
At our Christmas party
We were drinking champagne punch
And homemade egg-nog

Little sister brought her new boyfriend
He was a Mexican
We didn′t know what to think of him
'Til he sang "Feliz Navidad, 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 smoking while the stereo plays
"Noel, Noel, The First Noel"

Carve the Turkey, turn the ball game on
Mix margaritas when the egg-nog′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 and some Marlboro Lights
Hallelujah, 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 the breaker and the lights came on
And we sang "Silent Night, oh Silent 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 and some Salem Lights
Hallelujah, everybody say, "Cheese"
Merry Christmas from the family

Feliz Navidad
