Lyrics

It's so nice to see All the folks you love together Sittin' and talkin' 'bout All the things that's been goin' down It's been a long, long time Since we had a chance to get together Nobody knows the next time we see each other Maybe years and years from now Family reunion (Got to have) A family reunion Family reunion (It's so nice to come together) To come together (To get together) I wish grandma could see The whole family I sure miss her face And her warm and tender embrace And if grandpa was here I know he'd be smiling for me a tear To see what he has done All the offsprings from his daughters and sons A family reunion (Gonna have) A family reunion (Ooh, ooh) Family reunion (It's so nice to come together) To come together (To get together) Ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... Ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... At least once a year we should have Family reunion A family reunion (We need to do it for the young) Family reunion (It'll be nice, it'll be nice to come together) To come together To get together Family reunion (Sister knows, heaven knows) A family reunion (It's good to see you) Family reunion (I said we are sinkin' hands, makin' plans) (Maybe next year) To come together (Maybe next year) A family reunion (Ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh...) A family reunion (We gotta have, we gotta have) Family reunion (It'll be nice, it'll be so nice) (To come together) To come together (To get together) You know the family is the solution to the world's problems today Now let's take a look at the family In the family the father is like the head, the leader, the director Not domineering, but showing love, guidance For everyone else in the family Now if we could get all the fathers of the world To stand up and be fathers That would be great Then we have mothers Who are the right arm of the father There's supposed to-to-to do the cooking Raise the children, do the sewing And help the father to guide and direct Then there's the son The son, most sons are like imitators of their father So we're back again to the father And he is guiding in the right way The son is definitely gonna be alright Then we have the daughter Watching her mother Be-because sooner or later she's gonna be a mother And she'll have her own sons and daughters It don't, it don't just stop there with the family or Of-of yours or mine It's a universal family Under one divine purpose And one divine father That is if we all come together no matter what color, race, creed Because that's all in the head whether you wanna believe it or not 'Cause you'll bleed Hoo Family, family reunion It'll be nice, so nice, so nice
