DISGRACING THE FAMILY NAME (Single Version)

How are the old folks at home?

Grandmother built respect for family name

My father worked to keep it just the same

My mother once was proud of family name

Paralyzing the family name with paralysis

My brother Peter does not understand

My sister Mary Lou she hopes the best

When I was small they knew I was a pest

Pesty little moron (Oh what a shame)

Disgracing the family name

Debasing the family name

Erasing their fine fine reputation

How are the old folks at home?

Parents rejected me household germ

I crawl all through the garden with the worms

I am the rotten apple with the worms

Chewing at my core (Oh what a shame)

Disgracing the family name

Debasing the family name

Erasing their fine fine reputation

Listen to them whine as they dine

Whine - whine - whine -whine - whine

I started school at a primal age

Teachers were so enraged hated me

I lifted old ladies dresses at age three

Dirty as a baby (Ooh - oh what a shame)

Disgracing the family name

Debasing the family name

Erasing their fine fine reputation

How are the old folks at home?

Oh they hang their heads in shame

You better leave the neighborhood

And change your name 'cause I am

Disgracing - Destroy the family name

Debasing  - Wrecking, ruining the family name

Disgracing – Erasing, erasing their fine fine reputation

Disgracing - I will embarrass my family name                                          

Debasing - Destroy the family name

Debasing - Suffocating their fine fine reputation

Disgracing - Erasing the family name

Erasing - Wrecking, ruining their fine fine reputation
