Merry Christmas from the Family(Chords)

	        G                 C9  
Mom got drunk and Dad got drunk  
G                C9  
At our Christmas party  
G                Em  
We were drinkin' champagne punch  
    C           D  
And homemade eggnog  
G                         C9  
Little sister brought her new boyfriend  
G        C9  
He was a Mexican  
G                      Em  
We didn't know what to think of him  
        C              D  
'Til he sang Feliz Navidad  
          G  
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 stero plays  
Noel Noel The first Noel  
D  
Carve the turkey turn the ball game on  
C  
Mix Margaritas when the eggnog's gone  
D  
Send somebody to the Quik-Pak store  
 C  
We need some ice and an extention cord  
D  
A can of bean dip and some Diet Rite  
C  
A box of tampons and some Marlboro Lights  
G               Em  
Hallelujah everybody say cheese  
C                        D   G  
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  

Chorus:  

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  

Feliz Navidad.
