That's Family Lyrics

(Performed by Tyne Daly (Judy), Harriet Harris (Georgette), Chip Zien (Murray) and Michael X. Martin (George)

[Judy]
So you think your daughter's going to marry a guy.
All you planned to do that day was stand there and cry.

She wears your dress, she wears your pearls
And then she says shes pregnant and she sleeps with girls.
But am I surprised?

[Georgette]
That's Family
There's a chance I should have known that my son would be gay.
I encouraged everything to make him that way.
I showed him plays with thespians.
It worked so well he's gay and sleeps with lesbians.
But am I surprised?

[Judy]
It doesn't work that way

[Georgette]
I know

[Judy and Georgette]
That's family
You can make plans by the score
Involve your children and just watch the plans fly out the door

[Georgette]
Now our kids are getting ready to add to the clan

[Judy]
With so many of us bubbies its useless to plan

[Georgette]
What's a...?

[Judy]
Grandma!

[Judy]
The child will grow

[Georgette]
Will fret and fuss

[Judy and Georgette]
Then the kid will do to them what they just did to us

[Georgette]
Will they be surprised?

[Judy]
I hope so

[Judy and Georgette]
That's family

[Murray]
Did you see that our two wives are now related?

[George]
Is this real or are we both hallucinating?

[Murray]
Yes

[George]
Its true

[Murray]
Oy

[George]
Vey

[Murray and George]
Betcha stranger things will happen when you've become family

All
You can make plans by the score
Involve your children and just watch the plans fly out the door

(Overlapping)

[Judy and Georgette]
Now the kids are getting ready to add to the clan.
With so many of us bubbies its useless to plan.
The child will grow, will fret and fuss.
Then watch it do to them what they just did to us.
A word to the wise

[Murray and George]
Did you see that our two wives are now related?
Is this real or are we both hallucinating?
Yes, its true. Oy Vey.
Betcha stranger things will happen

[All]
When you've become family

[Judy]
Crazy

[Murray]
Contented

[George]
Devoted

[Georgette]
Demented

[All]
Loving, neurotic, adoring, psychotic
Mostly happy

[Judy]
What doesn't kill ya...

[Georgette]
Makes ya drink!!

[All]
Family
