Lyrics
It’s a fam ’ly af fair,
it’s a (Am7)fam ’ly af fair.
It’s a fam ’ly af fair,
it’s a (Am7)fam ’ly af fair.
One child grows up to be
some bod y that (C7)just loves to learn.
And ’noth (Gm7)er,
’noth er (C7)child
grows up to (Gm7)be
some bod y you just (C7)love to burn.
Ma ma loves
the both of (Gm7)them.
You see, it’s in the (C7)blood.
Both kids
are good to Ma ma.
Blood’s thick er than the (C7)mud, it’s a fam ’ly af fair.
It’s a fam ’ly af fair,
it’s a fam ’ly af fair.
What of it?
New ly wed
a year a (Gm7)go,
but we’re still just (C7)check in’ each oth er out.
No bod y
wants to (Gm7)gloat,
no bod y wants to (C7)be left out.
You can’t (C7)leave ’cause your heart is there.
But sure you can’t (C7)stay ’cause you been some where else.
You can’t cry
’cause you’ll look broke (Gm7)down, but you’re cry in’ an y way ’cause you’re (C7)all broke down.
It’s a fam ’ly af fair.
It’s a fam ’ly af fair,
it’s a fam ’ly af fair.
It’s a fam ’ly af fair,
it’s a fam ’ly af fair.
It’s a fam ’ly af fair,
it’s a (Am7)fam ’ly af fair.
It’s a fam ’ly af fair,
it’s a (Am7)fam ’ly af fair.
