Before you were born We were young, we were happy As happy as two can be But the table was big There was room for another So we prayed that we could be three Then you came along and started the song Now we sing as a family There's mommy and daddy and baby And happiness This is our family tree So when you were born We were young, we were happy As happy as three can be But the table was big There was room for another So we prayed that we could be four Then your sister came along and joined in the song Now we sing as a family There's mommy and daddy, two daughters And happiness This is our family tree Then we looked 'cross the table And what did we see? A young man pulling up a chair Now there's mommy and daddy, three children And happiness This is our family tree Before you were born We were young, we were happy Now we're as happy as we can be
