Do You Know This Song - Our Family

Our Family (melody My Bonnie)

 

My father makes counterfeit money,

my mother brews synthetic gin.

My sister sells kisses to sailors

and that's how the money rolls in!

 

Rolls in, rolls in, my god how the money rolls in, rolls in.

Rolls in, rolls in, my god how the money rolls in, rolls in.

 

My uncle's a slum missionary

saving young maidens from sin.

He'll save you a blond for a shilling

and that's how the money rolls in!

 

Rolls in, rolls in...

 

My aunt runs a girl seminary

teaching young girls to begin.

She never says where they're to finish

and that's how the money rolls in!

 

Rolls in, rolls in...

 

My brother's a Harley Street doctor

with instruments long, sharp and thin.

He only makes one operation

and that's how the money rolls in!

 

Rolls in, rolls in...

 

My father has spent all his money,

my mother has drunk all her gin.

My aunt's with my brother in prison

and so no more money rolls in!

 

(That's the most common version in Sweden - I've heard others in London.)
