HALLELUJAH! EVERYBODY SAY CHEESE!
MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE FAMILY :rofl: i love this song...

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
'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 MaryNell
Of course he brought his new wife Kaye
Who talks all about AA
Chain smokin' 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 Quik-Pak store
We need some ice and an extension cord
A can of bean dip and some Diet Rite
A box of tampons and some Marlboro Lights
Hallelujah everybody say cheese
Merry Christmas from the family

Fran and Rita drove from Harlingen
I can't remember how I'm kin to them
But when they tried to plug their motorhome in
They blew our Christmas lights
Cousin David knew just what went wrong
So we all waited 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
Mix margaritas when the eggnog's gone
Send somebody to the Quik-Pak store
We need some ice and an extension cord
A can of bean dip and some Diet Rite
A box of tampons and some Marlboro Lights
Hallelujah everybody say cheese
Merry Christmas from the family

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 Dite Sprite
A box of tampons and some Salem Lights
Hallelujah everybody say cheese
Merry Christmas from the family

:rofl:

1. A little tale about that song...
One of our activities around the holidays was, before my grandparents started shuffling off this mortal coil, singing and playing guitars at one of my grandparent's homes in Beaumont or Hemphill. When that song came out (I believe it was on Mr. Keen Jr.'s LP "Gringo Honeymoon") my dad started playing it at the annual Thanksgiving and/or Christmas gatherings. The first time he played it, the rest of the family loved it, and begged him to play it again. So he did. Little did we know that we had released a monster. Over the next decade that song was played so often at family gatherings that the first line of it made my dad, my brother, and I wince in pain when we'd hear it on the radio or elsewhere.

Its weird, but even with my grandparents gone, I still cannot reminisce fondly about that song. It must be some sort of Pavlovian reaction, because every time I hear it, I want to leave the room.

2. I am a blank slate.
I've never heard this song. :D

You'll only be subjected to my dad's angel chimes at Christmas. :D

4. Nah, I actually find it funny.
It's like having endured some horrible psychological experiment. :D

8. Did I hear someone call my name?
:hi:

Nice song, BTW. I've never heard it.
But yesterday, I heard "Grandma got run over by a reindeer" way too many times.
