So it's father had a knife, mother had the fork
Sister had a bottle and brother had the cork
We got a cut from the knife, a dig from the fork
A sup from the bottle and he's gone and lost the cork

So the longer we go on, the merrier we will be
We do belong to a boozin' family

And it's father had a pig, mother had the cow
Sister had a rabbit and brother had the owl
We got some pork from the pig, some milk from the cow
Some sport from the rabbit and a whistle from johnny's owl

So the longer we go on, the merrier we will be
We do belong to a boozin' family

And it's father had a lice, mother had the flea
Sister had a cup, and brother had the tea
We got some scratches from the jub, some bites from the flea
A drink from the cup and he's gone and lost the tea

So the longer we go on, the merrier we will be
We do belong to a boozin' family
