The Nuts on My Family Tree Songtext

von Napoleon XIV

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
