[MITCH MILLER, spoken]
NBC presents:
Sing Along With Mitch!
Starring me, Mitch Miller
And the sing-along gang!
This one's for the whole family

[ROGER, spoken]
Take it, mother

[CAROL]
I feel a merry quake
The south begins to shake
Under our family tree
The leaves begin to blow
Gone with the wind they go
All through our family tree
Up top magnolias bloom
They spread a sweet perfume
For this ancestral jubilee!
Now every bough must pull its weight
It’s time to prune and propagate
Welcome to our family tree

[ROGER, spoken]
That was great, mother!
[MITCH MILLER, spoken]
Let's hear from those fantastic fathers!

[ROGER]
I hear the dogwood’s bark
A seed’s begun to spark
Inside our

[ROGER & CAROL]
Family tree
A twig begins to poke

[CAROL]
Wah-wah

[ROGER]
From out that mighty oak

[CAROL]
Wah-wah-wah-wah

[ROGER]
To join our

[ROGER & CAROL]
Jamboree
[ROGER]
And like a slide trombone

[CAROL]
Wah-wah

[ROGER]
He glides out fully grown

[CAROL]
Wah-wah-wah-wah

[ROGER]
A Dixieland R.S.V.P

[CAROL]
Bah-bah-bah-ya, bah-bah-ya-bah-bow!

[ROGER]
And no one minds an extra limb

[CAROL]
Especially when it looks like him!

[ROGER & CAROL]
So welcome to our family tree
[MITCH MILLER, spoken]
Alright Brenda, your turn
Ladies and gentlemen, the Strong family singers!

[BRENDA & LADIES]
I feel a burst of spring
My trunk begins to swing
Just like our family tree
The cousins come to call
They’ll stay until next fall
‘Cause there’s lots of fixings and they’re free

[MEN]
Save some of that gumbo for me

[BRENDA, LADIES & (MEN)]
The kin folk gather ’round (Wah-wah)
They’ve covered lots of ground (Wah-wah-wah-wah)
There’s not a soul left in Tennessee

[BRENDA]
They’ve all arrived to germinate
To fertilize and

[BRENDA & LADIES]
Cultivate
And populate our family tree

[MITCH, spoken]
Ready, Frank?

[FRANK, JR., spoken]
Ready Mitch!

(singing)
I’ll give a rebel yell
To every Southern Belle
Under our family tree
I’ll swing the second line
When our two clans combine
For some big

[ALL]
Easy harmony

[FRANK, JR.]
Trumpets begin to shout
To welcome your new sprout
You’ve charmed this Yankee refugee
You're all so lush and overgrown
But I know I’ll never be alone
I’m glad to climb your family tree

[FRANK JR. & THE STRONGS]
Your love has raised the bar
I’m swingin’ on a star

[FRANK, JR.]
For that who needs a law degree?

[LADIES]
The trees that bear the ripest fruits

[MEN]
Are trees that have the deepest roots, so…

[ALL]
Welcome to our family
Welcome to our family

[FRANK JR.]
I’m...

[ALL]
Welcome to the family tree!

[FRANK, JR.]
Look out, old Frankie is home!

[ALL]
Yeah!
