[A#] Suzy and I were in Alaska.
When was that?
Last summer?
It [Cm] was at the end of the summer.
[F#] At the end of the summer we did this thing called the Wainwright Family Adventure.
[E] And the [F] concept, the [F#] conceit was [F] that people paid a lot of money to come and see these five shows [A#] that we did.
There really [F] are only five places [A] to play in [A#] Alaska.
Three [N] of them are in Anchorage!
Ho!
One of the shows was there.
Lucy isn't here tonight so [D] I'm playing the part of the self-deprecating Suzy.
[F#] [Cm]
Yes.
It's [G#] only funny if you're on stage.
So [F#] anyway, we did this tour and the deal, as I said, the conceit was that the audience,
not only did they see these five shows, but they traveled with us.
[G] So there was a bus ride, a long bus ride from Anchorage [F#] to Homer.
Then we took a boat ride to look at the whales and the glaciers.
The audience was with us.
You can imagine.
Wait, really?
That's [G#] crazy.
What?
That's [F#] crazy!
I didn't know that!
Yeah, you didn't know that.
Who would do that?
They traveled with us.
Anyway.
[Bm] So, [A#]
um
Do you need one?
I need one.
I need the lyrics.
Anyway, I [N] decided to write a jingle.
[F#] Lots of stuff.
And I'm going to do it for you, but I don't want to tell it.
[C#] [C] [A#m]
[Fm] I think, well, I don't know if we're going [A#] to advertise, but [F#] we're kind of going to do it again.
Woo!
In the Caribbean.
Yeah!
[G#] I am a Okay, now.
I am a
I am [F#] a
I am a
[F] Wainwright.
[F#] I am a
I am a
I am a
I am a
All right, here we go.
Meet the Wainwrights.
Meet the Wainwrights.
On the train, the boat, the bus.
[B] Join the family.
Come on for a row of elbows with us.
[C#] We're the Wainwrights.
Let's sing it, family.
[B] For five days and five nights, come sample our [F#] reality.
In Alaska, that wild and crazy state.
[B] It's a safe distance.
It's off the lower 48.
[C#] We are the Wainwrights.
We get looks and we get stares.
[B] More than [Bm] eagles, ebbs and [A#m] flows, glaciers, moose and bears.
[Bm] We finally have a stroke or get [F#] the odds once.
Those ones that see us, must [D#m] know.
We're the Wainwrights.
We can play and we can sing.
[C#] Our sound of music, kind of a screwed up fun drop, I'd [A#] say.
I proved [F#] this Wainwright.
Yeah, you remember him.
[B] Once was a tit man.
Now he checks pecs out at the gym.
I [C#] am a tit man.
He's on the bus.
[F#] Cause he's more famous [D] and much richer than the [B] rest of us.
[F#] La la la la.
La la la la.
[B] That's been me.
La la la la.
La [C#] la la la.
La la la la.
La la la [B] la.
La la la la.
We're an album.
[F#] Oh, [Bm] we got sass.
From that awesome singing crew.
Remember [F#] the road trip.
We'll scrub you.
[D#m] She's the Wainwright.
And for that we all are [C#] glad.
Once upon a [C#m] happy time, I slept with Lucy's [E] dad.
[F#] Tony Wainwright.
Has a voice, will not quit.
[B]
Bears and eagles and whales are afraid of it. [C#] Sarah Palin.
Run, run Lucy, I love her.
[B] Is Sarah in Alaska or [C#] has she moved to [F#] LA?
La la la la.
La la la la.
[B]
La la la [C#] la.
La la la la.
La la la [B] la.
[E] [F#] [Bm] Tony Wainwright.
And Lexi Kelly are both here.
I [F#] finished college.
Sometimes I choose to steer clear.
[D#m] Be the Wainwright.
And be a little mild.
But [C#] Martha and her buddy [A#] motherfucking assholes stay in touch.
[F#] Louden Wainwright.
Hey, he's the patriarch.
[B]
He's the scum pin.
The heart is [C#] important.
That was life to make it clear.
[F#]
If we're not [N] allowed, none of you folks would be here.
[A#] So [F#] please, now, Wainwright.
I'm praying for us.
[B] Law and family.
I'm praying for us.
[F#] We're the [C#] Wainwrights.
