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 1981      And my uncle wilbert   They all called him skinner   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   Now put down that camera   And come on and join up   The last of the family reserve      Now my second cousin   His name was callaway   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 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   He missed the swimming pool   Only by inches   And everyone said he was drunk      Now there was great uncle julius   And aunt annie mueller   And mary and granddaddy paul   And there was hanna and ella   And alvin and alec   He owned his own funeral hall      And there are more I remember   And more I could mention   Than words I could write in a song   But I feel them watching   And I see them laughing   And I hear them 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
