KING CRIMSON - Happy Family lyrics

rate me

Happy family, one hand clap, four went by and<br /> None come back.<br /> Brother judas, ash and sack, swallowed aphrodisiac.<br /> Rufus, silas, jonah too sang, "we'll blow our own<br /> Canoes,"<br /> Poked a finger in the zoo, punctured all the ballyhoo<br /> <br /> Whipped the world and beat the clock, wound up<br /> With their share of stock.<br /> Silver rolls from golden rock, shaken by a knock,<br /> Knock, knock.<br /> Happy family, wave that grin, what goes round<br /> Must surely spin;<br /> Cheesecake, mousetrap, grip-pipe-thynne cried out,<br /> "we're not rin tin tin."<br /> <br /> Uncle rufus grew his nose, threw away his circus<br /> Clothes<br /> Cousin silas grew a beard, drew another flask of<br /> Weird<br /> Nasty jonah grew a wife, judas drew his pruning<br /> Knife.<br /> Happy family one hand clap, four went on but none<br /> Came back<br /> <br /> Happy family, pale applause, each to his revolving<br /> Doors.<br /> Silas searching, rufus neat, jonah caustic, jude<br /> So sweet.<br /> Let their sergeant mirror spin if we lose the barbers<br /> Win;<br /> Happy family one hand clap, four went on but none<br /> Came back<br /><br />
