"Families"


	(How's the family)
	(How's the family)

	Mama, you tell me, how's the family
	And Papa, tell me how thing's going by you
	And little baby sister, I heard that you got married
	And I heard that you had yourself a little baby girl, too
	And here's some uncles and some cousins, I know, baby please
	And would you believe my old dog Tessa's here too
	And would you believe that nobody in this family wanted to keep her
	And now that dog's more of a part of this family, then I am, too
	I don't come home much anymore
	No, no, no I don't come home much anymore
	Mama

	And Mama, I know I've disappointed you are
	And Papa, I know that you feel the same way, too
	And no, no, no, no, no I still haven't got married
	And no, no, no there's no grand stunt planned here for you
	And by the way, daddy tell me how's the business
	I understand that your stock is going very high
	No, daddy, you're not a poor man anymore
	And I hope you'll realize it before you die
	Because I don't come home much anymore
	No, no, no, no, no I don't come home much no more
	But daddy

	And please, please, please, please, please, common
	let's not start this business again
	I know how much you resent the life that I have
	But one more time - I don't want the family business
	Don't want to inherit it upon the day that you die
	Really, daddy, shouldn't you give it to my sister
	You know, Elisabeth, you know, Elisabeth
	she has a better head for those things than I
	She lives practically round the corner
	That's really the kind of child you could be proud of
	But papa, I know this business is a mistake
	There's nothing there we have in common, except our name
	And families that live out in the suburbs
	Often make each other cry
	And I don't think I'll come home much anymore
	No, no, I don't think I'll come home much again
	Mama, Papa
	We often make each other cry
	No, I don't think I'll come home much anymore
