We Didn’t Start the Family (lyrics)

We Didn't Start the Family

<30 sec. intro>

Grandma Grandpa met one day, celebrating to this day

Morton Grove, Thanksgiving, Singing Dummyline

Aunt Laurie killed the cake, B-J went to Drake

SHS, DHS, Ettlesons not on time

<break>

Barbeque, blogspot, BJ's got a sure shot

Tea-chers at the school, playing Scrabble by the pool

Camp Slaw, pok-er, Grandma's a love-stroker

Taxi Story, Leonardi, Cruise -- Slaws super-cool

Chorus:

We didn't start the family

It was always growin'

And it won't be slowin'

We didn't start the family

But we come together

Times we'll always treasure

Hell-o Beautiful, Devin's Great and Powerful

Lemon Jello, Halloween, Lake-Bluff-Golf

Pass-over Piano Benches, Mon-keys, Mitzvah Menches

B-B-Y-O, Eric likes to frolf

Dan Dan Birthday Man, tic tacs, marathon man
Volleyball, man child, Grandpa doesn't like it mild
Drought in the best hunan, Aunt Joan cookie plate
Jamie Sings, Golden Rings, water sports on the lake

Chorus:

We didn't start the family
It was always growin'
And it won't be slowin'
We didn't start the family
But we come together
Times we'll always treasure

Face-book, flag cake, Christmas Carols, skirt steak
Osthoff tubing, hawthorn lanes bowling
CCD, Grandpa's toast, Monte is the best host
Show-biz To-night, Jeni can't get a flight

<break>

Hotlanta, Dream cookies, is it a medium?
Summers at camp barney, Jeri wears a schmoti
Uncle Shel's wild ride, cubs win, Julie's pied
Fat head, tooth picks, Lake Geneva, Bulls Tix

Chorus:

We didn't start the family
It was always growin'
And it won't be slowin'
We didn't start the family
But we come together
Times we'll always treasure

Deer-field Pa-rade, Aunt Laurie's Lemon-ade

Zu-baz, a lotta lox, Simpsons, Toe socks
Gen-er-al Hos-pit-al, Slaw Invitational
Bull dogs, secret shake, tennis tourney, donut cake
Hula Hoop, Be-ology, barbeque pit, the abbey
26, to this day, what else do I have to say?

We didn't start the family

It was always growin'
And it won't be slowin'
We didn't start the family
But we come together
Times we'll always treasure

Kleen-ex, ice cream man, Scrapbooking, Braves fan

Sagaunash, birthstones, watching slides, smashed phone

Car guy, U of I, driving range, gift exchange

Email-ing gift list, oh my gosh I ordered this!

Georgia visits, pumpkin pies, m&m's, paige's prize

Chick-fil-a, switched entrée, TAS, ribs, coco cay

Climbing up a waterfall, Matt Matt slippery cat

Resting eyes, Craig's tall. That's it, we got it all.

We didn't start the family
It was always growin'
And it won't be slowin'
We didn't start the family
But we come together
Times we'll always treasure
