Peter Sinfield - Happy Family lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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" [Verse 3] 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 [Refrain] Happy family, one hand clap Four went on but none came back [Instrumental] [Verse 4] 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 [Refrain] Happy family, one hand clap Four went on but none came back
