CAROL
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
ROGER
I hear the dogwood's bark
A seed's begun to spark
Inside our family tree
A twig begins to poke
From out that mighty oak
To join the jamboree
And like a slide trombone
He glides out fully grown
A dixieland R.S.V.P
And no one minds an extra limb
CAROL
Especially when it looks like him!
ROGER & CAROL
So welcome to our family tree
BRENDA & LADIES
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
MEN
Save some of that gumbo for me
BRENDA & LADIES
The kin folk gather 'round
They've covered lots of ground
There's not a soul left in Tennessee
BRENDA
They've all arrived to germinate
To fertilize and
BRENDA & LADIES
Cultivate
And populate our family tree
FRANK JR
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
ALL
Easy harmony
FRANK JR
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
FRANK JR & THE STRONGS
Your love has raised the bar
I'm swingin' on a star
FRANK JR
For that who needs a law degree?!?!
LADIES
The trees that bear the ripest fruits
MEN
Are trees that have the deepest roots, so
ALL
Welcome to our family
Welcome to our family
FRANK JR
I'm

Welcome to the family tree!
FRANK JR
Look out old Frankie is home!
