The Ordinary Family Donovan

Leitch

My father cut his toe off
In a rotary lawn mower
And my mother burst a blood vessel
When my younger brother went to jail

So I told her not to worry
Not to get in such a flurry
We're just an ordinary family
With the usual calamity

When I was just a virgin lad
My mother faked a suicide
Because she found the tell-tale sign
Of puberty upon the sheets

So I told her not to worry
Not to get in such a flurry
We're just an ordinary family
With the usual calamity

We always try to look our best
We always take care when we dress
We always wear clean underwear
In case we're in an accident
