It's so nice to see
|
All the folks you love together
|
Sittin' and talkin' 'bout
|
All the things that's been goin' down
|
|
It's been a long, long time
|
Since we had a chance to get together
|
Nobody knows the next time we see each other
|
Maybe years and years from now
|
|
Family reunion (Got to have)
|
A family reunion
|
Family reunion
|
(It's so nice to come together) To come together
|
(To get together)
|
|
I wish grandma could see
|
The whole family
|
I sure miss her face
|
And her warm and tender embrace
|
|
And if grandpa was here
|
I know he'd be smiling for me a tear
|
To see what he has done
|
All the offsprings from his daughters and sons
|
|
A family reunion (Gonna have)
|
A family reunion (Ooh, ooh)
|
Family reunion
|
(It's so nice to come together) To come together
|
(To get together)
|
|
Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...

Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...
|
At least once a year we should have
|
|
Family reunion
|
A family reunion (We need to do it for the young)
|
Family reunion
|
(It'll be nice, it'll be nice to come together) To come together
|
To get together
|
|
Family reunion (Sister knows, heaven knows)
|
A family reunion (It's good to see you)
|
Family reunion (I said we are sinkin' hands, makin' plans)
|
(Maybe next year) To come together (Maybe next year)
|
|
A family reunion (Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...)
|
A family reunion (We gotta have, we gotta have)
|
Family reunion (It'll be nice, it'll be so nice)
|
(To come together) To come together
|
(To get together)

|
You know the family is the solution to the world's problems today
|
Now let's take a look at the family
|
In the family the father is like the head, the leader, the director
|
Not domineering, but showing love, guidance
|
For everyone else in the family
|
Now if we could get all the fathers of the world
|
To stand up and be fathers
|
That would be great
|
Then we have mothers
|
Who are the right arm of the father
|
There's supposed to-to-to do the cooking
|
Raise the children, do the sewing
|
And help the father to guide and direct
|
Then there's the son
|
The son, most sons are like imitators of their father
|
So we're back again to the father
|
And he is guiding in the right way
|
The son is definitely gonna be alright
|
Then we have the daughter
|
Watching her mother
|
Be-because sooner or later she's gonna be a mother
|
And she'll have her own sons and daughters
|
It don't, it don't just stop there with the family or
|
Of-of yours or mine
|
It's a universal family
|
Under one divine purpose
|
And one divine father
|
That is if we all come together no matter what color, race, creed
|
Because that's all in the head whether you wanna believe it or not
|
'Cause you'll bleed
|
|
Hoo...
|
Family, family reunion
|
It'll be nice, so nice, so nice
|
