There's mischief and mayhem and songs to be sung
C F G C
There's bells and there's holly, the kids are gung-ho

My nephew's a horrible wise little twit
C F G C
He once gave me a nice gift wrapped box full of shit

With family like this I would have to confess

My mom likes to cook push our buttons and prod

I'd come home more often if they'd only quit bitchin'
C F G C
Dad on the other hand's a selfish old sod
C F G C
Drinks whiskey alone with my miserable dog
