Story Behind The Song

Had this idea driving home from work one day - the Partridge Family - southern style!!

Song Description

A song about a family band.

Lyrics

Now won't you come down Alabama way,
Down the Tallapoosa River where crawdads play,
Bring that old army tent and some vittles too,
We'll pick some real funky music like the Hillbillies do,
So pack up the truck and hit the road by three
The whole family's comin' to the jamboree
(Yes they are!)

We got Granny on piany
And big sister on the jugs
We got daddy on the gutbass
Cousin Ernie works the plugs
Baby shakes the rattle
And Mama beats the drums
We got the whole fam damily ...
We make some real cool noise!

You know the critters come out round this time of year,
We got a big bonfire so there's nothin' to fear,
We got fly dope for the skeeters and a rifle for bear,
So c'mon and grab your banjo and pull up a chair,
The woods will ring out with our funky sound,
The moonshine will be flowin' there's a party goin' down
(And we party REAL hard!)

Well we got the party goin' and we're kicking some ass,
I like a sittin' on a log with my toes in the grass,
Riffin' on my flat top and a-playin' it hot,
My ice cold brewski really hits the spot,
You know you really can't beat it down here in the woods,
With my ol' family band deliv'rin the goods!
