I flip every time I take a look At the pictures inside my family book And my mind wanders back where I'd like to be With the nuts on my family tree I take off my hat and I burst with pride When I recall all the things they tried Their classic bits made such history The nuts on my family tree The first stood his ground at Waterloo And it was such a foolish thing to do He was soaking his feet, but he wasn't done So I ask you, how could he run? The next nut was sure a lot of one He was there in the boat with Washington When a leak in the boat made the water spout He drilled a hole to let the water out I take off my hat and burst with pride When I recall all the things they tried Their classic bits made such history The nuts on my family tree The next got the word from Paul Revere But he stayed just to have that one last beer So the word he was just to drunk to say That the British were on the way The one who, with Custer, took a stand I'm now going to give a great, big hand But the hand that he gets should be in the mouth 'Cause he forgot to tell old George go south I take off my hat and burst with pride When I recall all the things they tried Their classic bits made such history The nuts on my family tree 4, 5, 9, 2, 7, 3, 4!
