When I saw the ambulance screaming down Main Street I didn't give it a thought But it was my Uncle Eugene He died on October The second, nineteen eighty-one Now my uncle Wilbert They all called him Skinner And they said for his younger ways He'd get drunk in the morning And show me the rolls of fifties and hundreds He kept in the glove box of his old gray Impala And we're all gonna be here forever So mama, don't you make such a stir Just put down that camera And come on and join up The last of the family reserve Now my second cousin, his name was Calloway He died when he'd barely turned two It was peanut butter and jelly that did it The help, she didn't know what to do She just stood there and she watched him turn blue And we're all gonna be here forever So mama, don't you make such a stir Just put down that camera And come on and join up The last of the family reserve And my friend Brian Temple He thought he could make it So from the third story he jumped And he missed the swimming pool only by inches And everyone said he was drunk And there was Great Uncle Julius And there was Aunt Annie Miller And Mary, and Granddaddy Po And there was Hannah, and Ella And Alvin, and Alec And he owned his own funeral home And there are more I remember And more I could mention And words I could write in a song But I feel 'em watching And I see 'em laughing And I hear 'em singing along We're all gonna be here forever So mama, don't you make such a stir Just put down that camera And come on and join up The last of the family reserve
