[Am] [G] We at the [D] family reunion, [Am] [D] telling jokes and playing [Am] spades.
[G] Uncle [D] Dave is on [Am] the [D] barbecue grill.
Grandma bragging about the blanket she made.
[Am] [D] For the new baby [Am] [D] on her way.
Even though the daddy ain't really ready.
[Am] [D] This [Am] child [G] is coming anyway.
Yeah.
[A] Nishe made her [Am] famous [D] potato salad.
Somehow it turns out green.
[Am] [G] Maybe [Dm] it's all [Am] the [D] scallions.
Could be the celery.
[Am] [D] But oh, [Am] [G] Uncle Jerome loves it.
Mmm.
[Am] [D] Hey baby, [Am] here [G] comes my favorite, my cousin.
[Am] [A] He says he's doing fine, [Am] [Dm] taking it one [D] step a day.
But in my heart I know it ain't that [A] way.
[D] Oh, [A]
[D] [D] what can I say?
It's the night.
[Am] And [D] oh,
[A] [D] what can you say?
[Am] [A] I'm juicy, been drinking again.
[D] It's only 1.30. in the afternoon. [Am] [A] Everybody [D] tiptoeing [Am] around. [D] [G] We all know she's gonna be so up soon. [Am] [C] Saying all [D] the things [Am] we [D] like to [G] say. Hope she gets around my cousin Lonnie. [Am] [D] Cause we all know he got [Am] a little [Dm] extra. [D] Somebody on the side. [Am] But [D] oh, [Am] [D] what can you say? It's the night. But [Am] [D] oh, [Am] [D] what can you say? It's the night. Oh [Am] [A] shit. [D] Mickey and [Am] Steven are [D] fighting again. Move out the [G] way. Somebody might get [Am] hurt. [G] Oh, look at [D] that, what happened is [Am] worse. [D] [G] They knocked over Helen O's lemon [Am] cake. [A] You know the [D] one she barely ever [G] makes. I want them to [Am] go. [D] But somebody turns [Am] the music on [D] the stereo. Ruby starts rocking, shaking her good hip [Am] and body. [D] [G] So we all [Am] fall [G] into place. Smiling and laughing. [Am] [D] Oh, [Am] [D] what can you say? [Am] [D] But oh, [Am] [D] what can you say? My favorite night. [Am] [D] But [Am] oh, what can you [D] say? It's the night. But [A] [G] oh, [D] what can you say? [A] [D] [G]
