Verse 1
Em Am G I pulled your pants off in the back of a Corsair F Em And you looked at me like your father was there Am G And shrugged your shoulders when you’d had enough You said you’d done this before Am C G But I can tell a bluff when it’s there! D Am Now you’re shouting me up the stairs C G And your father’s too old to care D Am And you take off your own underwear C Because we’re running a family. F Em
Verse 2
Em The miracle of life Am G What have we done? F Em We made a baby from a bottle of rum Am G Doctor waved her at me saying “This child’s drunk!” Am C She fell asleep in hospital woke up in the slum G D Am And I’m sad when this beautiful girl calls me Dad Am C G And she’s always too good to be bad D Am But I have to get drunk to be glad C That I’m running this family.

Verse 3
Am G F C Am She looks more like you than you did G And I won’t be surprised C G If some day soon C G Some great baboon C G Will spend all afternoon C G Teaching baby new tunes C G With his trousers still strewn on my couch D Am When they kissed I almost said “Ouch!” C G And she said “Me and Dwain are goin’ out.” D Am But if she keeps up that pitiful pout C She will be running this family
