Merry Christmas From the Family (Robert Earl Keen Jr) 
 Mom got drunk and [C9] Dad got drunk 
 At our Christmas [C9] party 
 We were drinkin' [Em] champagne punch And [C] homemade egg[D]nog 
 Little sister brought her [C9] new boyfriend 
 He was a [C9]Mexican 
 We didn't know what to [Em] think of him 'Til he [C] sang Feliz Navi[D]dad Feliz Navi[G]dad 

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 stereo plays Noel, Noel, The first Noel 
CHORUS: 
[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 extension cord 
[D] A can of bean dip and some Diet Rite 
[C] A box of tampons and some Marlboro Lights 
[G] Hallelujah every[Em]body say cheese 
[C] Merry Christmas from the [D]fami[G]ly 
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 Diet Sprite A box of tampons and some Salem Lights Hallelujah everybody say cheese Merry Christmas from the family 
Feliz Navidad.
