Story Behind The Song

Written for the first musical I had the pleasure of collaborating on with my playwright brother, Scott Phillips, entitled "Paris on the Brain." The lyrics pretty much accurately reflect real scenarios from our childhood (which explains a lot about why we are who we are today).

Song Description

Dysfunctional family

Lyrics

Chorus:

We put the fun in dysfunctional
That's what this family's about
Yes, we put the fun in dysfunctional
And we can take it right back out!

Remember the time when you ran away
And didn't come home for a day?
When you returned, it was only to learn
Your room had been rented away

And how 'bout those trips in the family car
So full with no room to spare
We stopped by the road to lighten the load
I wonder if Grandma's still there

Off to the seashore where every day
We baked in the sun 'till we fried
Dad got so red that everyone said
"Look at the lobster man -- Hide!!"

Chorus

How 'bout the time when we all dressed up
To eat at the new place in town
We got to the place and had egg on our face
When we saw Mickey Dee staring down

And who can forget when we gathered to
Meet with your latest conquest
He seemed kinda shocked when we asked for his sock
To conduct the required stink test

I still see Dad's face when you telephoned
To tell him that your wounds would heal
But the car fared much worse, upside down in reverse
On a rock in the middle of a field

Chorus
