Strange Little Family

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Mom lost her glasses in the laundry again Checked the freezer, blamed the cat, then counted to ten She says, “I’m brilliant,” while the toast starts to smoke I say, “Sure, Mom,” and try not to choke [Pre-Chorus] She forgets where she put the keys They’re hanging right there by the TV [Chorus] My mom is so silly, and I love her a lot No, I don’t—well, maybe I do, maybe not She calls me a genius, then trips on the mat My sister says, “Who taught you that?” We’re a strange little family, loud and absurd But nobody else gets the last word [Verse 2] My sister made coffee and forgot the cup Pressed every button just to make it wake up She lost three socks and found them in the drawer Then blamed the washing machine for losing four more [Pre-Chorus] She says, “I’ve got this,” with a confident grin Five minutes later, we’re calling Dad in [Chorus] My mom is so silly, and I love her a lot No, I don’t—well, maybe I do, maybe not She calls me a genius, then trips on the mat My sister says, “Who taught you that?” We’re a strange little family, loud and absurd But nobody else gets the last word [Bridge] They can be ridiculous, stubborn, and loud They can embarrass me right in front of a crowd But when the day goes sideways and I’m running low They’re the first two people I know where to go [Final Chorus] My mom is so silly, and I love her a lot No, I don’t—okay, fine, maybe I’ve got A soft spot for sisters who mess up the plan And a mom who still thinks she can fix it by hand We’re a strange little family, loud and absurd And I love you both—there, the last word! [Outro] Mom, you’re not dumb, you’re wonderfully you Sis, you’re a mess, but I love you too
