Get familiar with families with our Families Song!

Lyrics

These are the Families I know
These are the Families I know
They may not get along,
Or they may get along great
Everyone has a different family
But they all wear underwear…

My neighbour Caleb
Has a sister, and a Mother, and a Father
His parents love Caleb and his sister
And call them Son and Daughter
And Caleb’s father,
has a Mother & Father too
They visit every week
They are Caleb’s Grandparents

Caleb. Caleb’s sister. Caleb’s Mother and Father. Caleb’s Grandparents

My neighbour Susan
She has a Mother and a Father
But they got divorced when she was little
So now she has a Stepfather
Susan’s Stepfather
Has a son named Demitri
From a previous marriage
And Demetri is Susan’s Stepbrother

Susan. Susan’s Mother. Susan’s Father and Stepfather. Susan’s Stepbrother Demetri

These are the Families I know
These are the Families I know
They may not get along,
Or they may get along great
Everyone has a different family
But they all wear underwear…

My neighbour Juanita
Has a Mother and another Mother: two Mothers!
One Mother has a Brother
And this is Juanita’s Uncle
So Juanita’s Uncle
His name is Sam
Sam has two Daughters
And Juanita calls them her Cousins!

Juanita. Juanita’s Mothers. Juanita’s Uncle Sam. Juantia’s Cousins.

My neighbour Yang
Has a Mother but no Father – his Mother is a single Mom
His Mother has a Sister,
And this is Yang’s Aunt
So Yang’s Aunt
I don’t know that much about her
She has a cat
But I don’t really know if that counts as a family member…

Yang. Yang’s Mother. Yang’s Aunt. Yang’s Aunt’s cat.

These are the Families I know
These are the Families I know
They may not get along,
Or they may get along great
Everyone has a different family
But they all wear underwear…
