(Our) Family Tree

NBC Presents: Sing Along With Mitch!

Starring me, Mitch Miller, and the Sing Along Gang!

This one's for the whole family.

Take it, Mother.

I feel a mighty quake

The south begins to shake

Under our family tree

The leaves begin to blow

Gone with the wind they go

All through our family tree

Up top magnolias bloom

They spread their sweet perfume

For this ancestral jubilee

Now every bough must pull it's weight

It's time to prune and propagate

Welcome to our family tree

That was great, mother!

Let's hear from those fantastic fathers!

I hear the dogwood's bark

(Ruff! Ruff!)

A seed's begun to spark

(Tsst!)

Inside our family tree

A twig begins to poke

(Wa-wah)

From out that mighty oak

(Wa-wa-wa-wah)

To join our jamboree

And like a slide trombone

(Wa-wah)

He glides out fully grown

(Wa-wa-wa-wah)

A dixieland R.S.V.P.

(A-ba-bala-ba-bala-ba-baw)

And no one minds an extra limb

Especially when it looks like him

So welcome to our family tree

Alright, Brenda, your turn!

Ladies and gentleman, the strong family singers!

I feel a burst of spring

My trunk begins to swing

Just like our family tree

The cousins come to call

They'll stay until next fall

'Cause there's lots of fixins' and they're free

(Save some of that cumbo for me)

The kin folk gather 'round

They've covered lots of ground

There's not a soul left in Tennessee

They've all arrives to germinate

To fertilize and cultivate and

Populate our family tree~

Ready, Frank?

Ready, Mitch!

I'll give a rebel yell

To every southern belle

Under our family tree

I'll swing the second line

When our two clans combine

For some big easy harmony

Trumpets begin to shout

To welcome your new sprout

You've charmed this yankee refugee

You're all so lush and overgrown

But I know I'll never be alone

I'm glad to climb your family tree

Your love has raised the bar

(Doo-wow!)

I'm swingin' on a star

(Doo-wow!)

For that who needs a law degree

The trees that bear the ripest fruits

Are trees that have the deepest roots

So welcome to our family

Welcome to our family

Welcome to our family tree!

Look out old Frankie is home!
