Merry Christmas From The Family
Mom got drunk and Dad got drunk at our Christmas party
We were drinking champagne punch and homemade eggnog
Little sister brought her new boyfriend
He was a Mexican
We didn't know what to think of him until he sang
Felis Navidad, Felis Navidad
Brother Ken brought his kids with him
The three from his first wife Lynn
And the two identical twins from his second wife Mary Nell
Of course he brought his new wife Kay
Who talks all about AA
Chain smoking 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 Quickpak Store
We need some ice and an extension chord
A can of bean dip and some Diet Rites
A box of tampons, Marlboro Lights
Haleluja everybody say Cheese
Merry Christmas from the family
Fred and Rita drove from Harlingen
I can't remember how I'm kin to them
But when they tried to plug their motor home in
They blew our Christmas lights
Cousin David knew just what went wrong
So we all waited out on our front lawn
He threw a breaker and the lights came on
And we sang Silent Night, Oh Silent Night, Oh Holy Night
Carve the turkey turn the ball game on
Make Bloody Mary's
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 Diet Sprites
A box of tampons, some Salem Lights
Haleluja, everybody say cheese
Merry Christmas from the Family
Felis Navidad
-Robert Earl Keen
Ive been coming back to dallas for christmas for 27 years and theres never any guarentee that theres qoing to be anything to thing to listen to on the radio. last year and this year still 95.3 KHYI (check out the live audio stream) "the range" has been filling the bill nicely. I went to NTSU in Denton and hung out with a good friend and bass player Bill Whitbeck. He had a great blond fender jazz master but had a hell of a time passing his freshman music theory class even though he could read music fine. He was a big John Lenon fan and wore JL wire rims and suede deck shoes. He's been playing bass for Robert Earl Keen now for quite a while. It must be nice playing for majorly enthused crouds that show up for REK shows on the road every night. Thanks Bill for turning me on to outlaw country music in 1975, its served me well. A lot better than the bowie, roxy music and NY dolls I made him listen to.
