"Kinfolk Is A Comin"

Kinsfolk is a comin, I just got the call
Got to make quick preparations to serve them all
The hour is late and it's just before lunch
Sure hope they like crackers served with punch

Kinsfolk is a comin, I'll greet them with a smile
But being happy about it, is not my style
I'll get in some hugs and a few kisses will do
To make it look like I really wanted too

Kinsfolk is a comin and that's all right
As long as they leave before midnight
They say, "Don't feed animals and they'll disapear"
Now my mind's thinking of such an idea

Kinsfolk is a comin,so I can't watch the soaps
Too much gossip and too many jokes
With a little luck I'll get in a word
Short lived but doubtfully heard

Kinsfolk is a comin and bringing little boys
I'm hiding pots and pans or they'll become toys
If kinsfolk would use a rod of correction
My things would have a lot more protection

Kinsfolk is a comin, so I'm leaving to get
To someplace, I haven't even heard of yet
When kinsfolk arrive they'll find at best
That this ole bird has flown from the nest

Kinsfolk is a comin, but not right away
All this peace and guiet is making my day
I'll visit kinsfolk tomorrow to see how they react
And find if they love me or putting on an act
