Families Lou Reed

(How's the family)
(How's the family)

Mama, you tell me how's the family?
And papa, tell me how thing's going by you
And little baby sister, I heard that you got married
And I heard that you had yourself a little baby girl, too
And here's some uncles and some cousins I know vaguely
And would you believe my old dog Chelsea's here, too
And would you believe nobody in this family wanted to keep her
And now that dog's more of a part of this family then I am, too
I don't come home much anymore
No no no I don't come home much anymore
Mama

And mama, I know how disappointed you are
And papa, I know that you feel the same way, too
And no no no no no I still haven't got married
And no no no there's no grandson planned here for you
And by the way, daddy tell me how's the business?
I understand that your stock, she's growing very high
No, daddy, you're not a poor man anymore
And I hope you'll realize that before you die
Because I don't come home much anymore
No no no no no, I don't come home much no more
But daddy
