So, I wrote this song for my side of the family. I tried to upload the MP3 of me actually singing it, but it wouldn't work. So, if anyone knows how to make that work, I'll post it (despite my mediocre singing voice). Therefore, here are the lyrics. Many of you don't even know these people but I hope you enjoy it anyway!
Woodland Song: 2009 Edition
Written by Camille Winward (to the tune of “American Pie”)
A long, long time ago
Mom and Dad were introduced
By a certain mutual friend
And Mom thought Dad was pretty cute
He was a farmer and smelled of Brute
But the mustache is what got her in the end.
So they got married, it was June
Moved to the farm and all too soon
A baby on the way
MJ came, oh happy day!
How could they know this little boy
Was the first of nine to enjoy
And all that we would destroy?
That’s how we all got here.
Oh
My, my camping in July
Stories greater, playing later
All these kids in supply
We left our homes
Kissed civilization goodbye
Sayin’
“Maybe Mom will make us a pie”
“Maybe Mom will make us a pie”
Michael John grew up one day
Married Cody and moved far away
But they’ll come back, or so they say
Ah, Daniel has an interesting tale
Of trying to fly without fail
To Spain. That didn’t work out so well, by the way.
Well, we know Martin is very smart
We ask him how to fix our cars
And computers, yes it’s true
Plus he married Sara too
Monica met Jon, they were not afraid
To start a family, a baby factory by trade
Six kids, enough for their own parade
Oh yes, and now we’re here
We started singin’
My, my camping in July
Stories greater, playing later
All these kids in supply
We left our homes
Kissed civilization goodbye
Sayin’
“Maybe Mom will make us a pie”
“Maybe Mom will make us a pie”
In high school Seth was a well-known guy
But his bouncing we saw, he might deny
Just what a goofball he can be.
Camille read the comics just cuz she could
Never laughed even when you thought she should
But Jason has cured that, can’t you see?
Oh, and Crystal likes to study rocks
She used to collect them in a box
And when Dallan tries to talk
We think he’s half Ewok!
And about Garrett what can we say?
Just that he really likes to play
Computer games for most the day
And yes, we’re all still here.
We were singin’
My, my camping in July
Stories greater, playing later
All these kids in supply
We left our homes
Kissed civilization goodbye
Sayin’
“Maybe Mom will make us a pie”
“Maybe Mom will make us a pie”
There are a few more people in our fam
I’ll tease them just because I can
And I love them oh so well
Now Emily is quite the cook
She likes to sew and make scrapbooks
She puts up with Seth, what an angel!
Oh, and Kellen likes to ride his horse
And drive his giant truck, of course!
There’s so many names to touch on
Like Cody, Sara, Jason, and Jon
And what’s this about Laura I hear?
She took out a few helpless deer
When her pink car, she forgot to steer
But hey, she is still here!
We are singin’
My, my camping in July
Stories greater, playing later
All these kids in supply
We left our homes
Kissed civilization goodbye
Sayin’
“Maybe Mom will make us a pie”
“Maybe Mom will make us a pie”
If you think that’s where the family ends
You’re in for a shock, yes my friends
Let me name them one by one:
Seth, Stetson, Savannah Marie
Gabe, Megan, Danzel, and Liberty
And don’t forget Juliet, oh, she’s so fun!
There’s Caleb, Kade, and Kenna Roo
Elena, Becca, Mckenzie too
Luke, Lyndsay, and Lillian
Stiles, Marcus, Erica, Hunter, and William
Believe it or not we’re still not through
Skye, Mason, Baby Woodin too
Will very soon make their debut
And then we’ll all be here
And we’ll be singin’
My, my camping in July
Stories greater, playing later
All these kids in supply
We left our homes
Kissed civilization goodbye
Sayin’“Maybe Mom will make us a pie”
Now, I realize that our family won't really "all be here" because we just keep multiplying and replentishing and that is why this is the 2009 edition! =)
