Family Portrait Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Isn't that your brother sitting on some girl's last name?
Isn't that your mother plucking on a sugarcane?
Isn't that your sister walking in the pouring rain?
Isn't that your father over there cheating in a poker game?

[Chorus]
That's your family portrait
Family portrait!
And they say that I ain't good enough for you

[Verse 2]
Heard about your uncle, he doing five to ten
And your granny drinks her milk with-a something added in
What's this about your cousin sneaking out of town again?
And your grandpa deep in debt and the pony that-a just don't win

[Chorus]
That's your family portrait
Family portrait!
And they say that I ain't good enough for you

[Verse 3]
They want you to marry a rich boy
So they can all hang on
And since your daughter objected
I guess I don't belong

[Chorus]
In your family portrait
Family portrait!
And they say that I ain't good enough for you
