Tight Knit Family lyrics

Well, the situation's this

I do not wish to offend

I divorced my wife

I left my child

And I ran off with a friend

But I want a tight-knit family

I want a group that harmonizes

I want my wife and kid and friend

To pretend

Time will mend

Our pain

So it's nineteen seventy-nine

And we don't go by the book

We all eat as one

Wife, friend, and son

And I sing out as they cook

I love my tight-knit family

I love the way they cook linguine

Isn't it great? We're all so swell

Such a dear clientele

I swear we're gonna come through it

I fear we'll probably fight

But nothing's impossible

Live by your wit

Kid, wife, and lover will have to admit

I was right

I cushioned the fall

I want it all

I want it all

I want it
