Family Tree - Jake Thackray[00:00:02]
Up my my family tree[00:00:05]
There hangs my curious pedigree [00:00:09]
My long my lurid ancestry -[00:00:12]
The prancing phantoms and ghosts[00:00:16]
Of my rude forefathers [00:00:18]
Nevertheless despite their sins [00:00:20]
Bless my kiths and bless my kins [00:00:22]
There they all perch to see[00:00:24]
Up my up my family tree [00:00:26]
Up my my family tree [00:00:31]
No blue blood no nobility;[00:00:35]
No trace of aristocracy -[00:00:39]
Except for Uncle Sebastian[00:00:42]
Who once raped a duchess [00:00:45]
Nevertheless despite their sins [00:00:47]
Bless my kiths and bless my kins [00:00:49]
There they perch for all to see[00:00:51]
Up my up my family tree [00:00:53]
We've no ancestral halls [00:00:58]
No haughty portraits on our walls;[00:01:02]
No family monuments at all -[00:01:06]
Unless it's my cousin Sheila's[00:01:08]
Stupendous cleavage [00:01:10]
Nevertheless despite their sins [00:01:14]
Bless my kiths and bless my kins [00:01:16]
There they perch for all to see[00:01:17]
Up my up my family tree [00:01:19]
My great-great-uncle Sam [00:01:25]
A very tranquil sort of man [00:01:29]
Could not afford his wife a pram -[00:01:32]
He pushed his babies round the park[00:01:35]
In a green wheelbarrow [00:01:38]
Nevertheless despite their sins [00:01:40]
Bless my kiths and bless my kins [00:01:42]
There they perch for all to see[00:01:44]
Up my up my family tree [00:01:46]
My Uncle Will my Auntie May[00:01:52]
Were very much in love so they[00:01:56]
Got married after some delay -[00:01:59]
They dressed their kids up in white[00:02:03]
When they both went legal [00:02:04]
Nevertheless despite their sins [00:02:07]
Bless my kiths and bless my kins [00:02:09]
There they perch for all to see[00:02:11]
Up my up my family tree [00:02:13]
When brother Richard was thirteen[00:02:18]
He was a Boy Scout keen and clean [00:02:23]
He got presented to the Queen -[00:02:26]
And then he went and spoiled it all[00:02:29]
When he offered her a Woodbine [00:02:31]
Nevertheless despite their sins [00:02:34]
Bless my kiths and bless my kins [00:02:36]
There they perch for all to see[00:02:38]
Up my up my family tree [00:02:40]
Let this be understood [00:02:45]
That our family name is mud [00:02:49]
Our sheep are black our cheques are dud -[00:02:53]
But we survive We're alive [00:02:56]
So it's up with the Thackrays [00:02:58]
Nevertheless despite their sins [00:03:01]
Bless my kiths and bless my kins [00:03:02]
There they perch for all to see[00:03:05]
Up my up my up my my family tree[00:03:06]
