meet the wainwrights

Singer:wainwright iii, loudon

meet the wainwrights on the train

the boat

the bus

join the family - come on

rub elbows with us

we're the wainwrights - that singin' family

for five days and five nights come sample our reality

in alaska

that wild and crazy state

it's a safe distance from the lower forty-eight

we're the wainwrights - we gets looks and we get stares

more than eagles

eskimos

glaciers

moose

and bears

meet the wainwrights - now we finally have a show

forget the osbournes

those kardashians must go

we're the wainwrights - we can play and we can sing

our sound of music kind of a screwed up von trapp like thing

rufus wainwright - you remember him?

once was a tit man - now he checks pecs out at the gym

i have a trainer traveling with me on the bus

'cause he's more famous and much richer than the rest of us

la-la-la-la. yeah

we got roaches from that awesome singing crew

suzzy and lucy - they're a daughter/mother twosome

but they're wainwrights

and for that we are glad

once upon a happy time i slept with lucy's dad

sloany wainwright has a voice that will not quit

there's an eagles and whales are afraid of it

and sarah palin runs the other way

is sarah in alaska or has she moved to la?

la-la-la-la. martha wainwright happily is here

though there are sometimes martha chooses to steer clear

bein' a wainwright can be a little much

but martha and the bloody motherfuckin' asshole stay in touch

loudon wainwright

hey he's the patriarch

yeah he's the skunk man who can get a little dark

he is important and would like to make it clear

that were it not for loudon none of you folks would be here

so meet the wainwrights on the train

the boat

the bus

we're the wainwright's

c'mon and rub elbows with us

we're the wainwrights - that singin' family

stuck here on cayamo we are stranded out at sea

the adventure of a lifetime with the wainwright family
