So let it be written...

So let it be done. A long-ago family tradition has been updated.

Merry Christmas one and all.



Bekah LOVED this song the first time she heard me talk about it and sing it. Since then we've been planning how to make it a happy tradition for ALL family members. :)
Some of the words may not be right, but we did our best to remember them all.

They’re creepy and they’re cooky,
Mysterious and spooky.
They’re altogether ookey,
The Burnett family.

Our dad likes his computer,
And he’s a trumpet tooter.
For what is he a rooter?
The Burnett family.

Our mom comes next, of courses,
She finally has horses.
But what she most endorses,
The Burnett family.

Duh, duh, duh, duh…neat!
Duh, duh, duh, duh…sweet!
Duh, duh, duh, duh,
Duh, duh, duh, duh
Duh, duh, duh, duh…petite.

First we have our Nikki,
Her piano is tricky.
Her art is never icky.
The Burnett family.

Next we have our Russell,
In baseball he will hustle.
He’s more than brains and muscle.
The Burnett family.

Duh, duh, duh, duh…proud!
Duh, duh, duh, duh…endowed!
Duh, duh, duh, duh,
Duh, duh, duh, duh
Duh, duh, duh, duh…too loud!

For laughs we go to Dougy,
Big smiles and a huggy.
His jokes will drive you buggy.
The Burnett family.

You’ll notice Angie’s smile.
She triple jumps a mile.
Adventure is her style.
The Burnett family.

Duh, duh, duh, duh…neat!
Duh, duh, duh, duh…sweet!
Duh, duh, duh, duh,
Duh, duh, duh, duh
Duh, duh, duh, duh…complete.

So get a bus to haul on,
A truck to fit y’all on,
We hope you’ll pay a call on,
The Burnett family.

The Burnett family.

Yea!!!
You'll notice Angie's smile,
She's waited a long while,
Although it's been a trial,
"The Burnett family"!

It's about time somebody corrected the old, outdated version, huh?

Thank you, Nikki and Bekah !!!

I also love the addition Bekah added to the end, "Yah, Baby!"
