In January, cousin Fred, [Am] we found him in the attic dead
In [Dm] February's odd adventure,
[G] father lost his dentures
In [C] March Fiona had a fright,
[Am] while coming home alone one night
[Dm] Some men in a long black car, [G] made her get in and drove her far
[C] In April Horace left [Am] behind what little thought, what little mind
[Dm]
He may have had in the result, [G] he joined an unknown eastern cult
[C] Tattooed his ears, pierced his nose, [Am] glides around on hennock toes
As relatives are unforgiving, [G] assert he's no longer living
With a hip-deep [G]
[C] family
In May Aunt Flo began to sneeze, [Am] which heralded some strange disease
[Dm] In June Jeffrey got himself arrested, [G] he's still far and wide detested
[C] In July Mama's pen money [B] dwindled, [Am] away to not when she was swindled
[Dm] In August Bruno had a fit, [G] passing tot, he went and bit
[Dm] The hip-deep
[G]
[C] family
In September we were sad to lose,
[Am] Miss Grey while on a cruise
[Dm]
She happened to fall overboard, into Norway's deepest fjord
In [C] October Alice was betrothed, [Am] to Edgar, whom she found she loathed
[Dm] His behaviour ever since has been enough to make her wince
In [C] November it was rather frightening, [Am] when baby Boo was struck by lightning
The [Dm] experts think perhaps he'll walk, [G] and even sort of learn to talk
[C] And in December Emma's luck was rotten, while singing Die Frau und Schatten
[Dm] Without warning lost her voice, [G] a twist of fate, had no choice
[Dm] The hip-deep
[G]
[C] family
So much for us, we hope that you [Am] have managed somehow to get through
[Dm] The year and so can celebrate,
[G] that before the hands of fate
[C] Shall get us in its grip again, [Am]
we anticipate
We [Dm]
anticipate
[G] our
[G] gory
[C] end,
