Lyrics

We are fam i (G)ly.

I got all my sis ters with (F)me.

We are fam i (G)ly.

Get up, ev ’ry bod y, and (F)sing.

Ev ’ry (Em7)one can (D9)see we’re to geth er as we (Em7)walk on (D9)by.

And we (Em7)flock just like (D9)birds of a feath er; I won’t (Em7)tell no (D9)lie.

All of the (Em7)peo ple (D9)a round us, they say,

“Can they (Em7)be that close?”

Just let me state for the (Em7)rec ord:

We’re giv ing love in a (Em7)fam ’ly dose.

We are fam i (G)ly.

I got all my sis ters with (F)me.

We are fam i (G)ly.

Get up, ev ’ry bod y, and (F)sing.

(A)Liv ing life is fun, and (Em7)we’ve just be gun (D9)to get our share

of this (Em7)world’s de (D9)lights.

High hopes we (Em7)have

for the fu ture,

and (Em7)our goal’s in sight.

No, we don’t get de (Em7)pressed.

(D9)Here’s what we call

our (Em7)Gold en Rule:

Have faith in you and (Em7)the things you do; (D9)you won’t go wrong.

This is our (Em7)fam ’ly jewel.

We are fam i (G)ly.

I got all my sis ters with (F)me.

We are fam i (G)ly.

Get up, ev ’ry bod y, and (F)sing.

We are fam i (G)ly.

I got all my sis ters with (F)me.

We are fam i (G)ly.

Get up, ev ’ry bod y, and (F)sing.
