Our Family Tree
Catch Me If You Can: The Musical
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
So 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 convered 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...
Frank jr & 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 tree that have the deepest roots, so...
All:
Welcome to our family
Welcome to our familly
Frank jr:

All:
