King Crimson Happy Family Lyrics

Happy Family Lyrics

Happy family, one hand clap, four went by and
 none come back.
Brother Judas, ash and sack, swallowed aphrodisiac.
Rufus, Silas, Jonah too sang, "We`ll blow our own 
 canoes,"
Poked a finger in the zoo, punctured all the ballyhoo

Whipped the world and beat the clock, wound up
 with their share of stock.
Silver Rolls from golden rock, shaken by a knock,
 knock, knock.
Happy family, wave that grin, what goes round
 must surely spin;
Cheesecake, mousetrap, Grip-Pipe-Thynne cried out,
 "We`re not Rin Tin Tin."

Uncle Rufus grew his nose, threw away his circus
 clothes
Cousin Silas grew a beard, drew another flask of
 weird
Nasty Jonah grew a wife, Judas drew his pruning
 knife.
Happy family one hand clap, four went on but none
 came back

Happy family, pale applause, each to his revolving
 doors.
Silas searching, Rufus neat, Jonah caustic, Jude
 so sweet.
Let their sergeant mirror spin if we lose the barbers
 win;
Happy family one hand clap, four went on but none
 came back
