about

Get ready for that yearly dysfunctional family gathering, whether it be for a family reunion or major holiday. Let the old wounds heal, and spill some new blood.

lyrics

Calling all family, it's that time we meet
It's been a year now, let's gather to eat
Uncle is buzzin', paw-paw is too
Aunt Suzie keeps belching, what can you do
And Granny lost her teeth eating beef stew
The kids all act like they were raised in a zoo

It's been a year now, our old wounds have healed
Let's get together for new blood to spill
The turkey is too dry, there's no pumpkin pie
The green beans are soggy, and I wish I would die

Aunt Brenda keeps bitching about one of her friends
Each year it's a new one trying to take her new man
Paw-Paw and Bobby are out shooting guns
Entertaining them youngins, performing sweet stunts
And Granny keeps flapping her gums, and I can't make out a word
Cousin Rusty has the runs and my ma is on my last nerve

It's been a year now, our old wounds have healed
Let's get together for new blood to spill
The turkey is too dry, there's no pumpkin pie
The green beans are soggy, and I wish I would die

I searched my sagacity for a pretext to leave
I couldn't summon a reason, but I found Granny's teeth
Leftovers and insults as I drive away
This should tie me over til a year from today

It's been a year now, our old wounds have healed
Let's get together for new blood to spill
The turkey is too dry, there's no pumpkin pie
The green beans are soggy, and I wish I would die
