If you could see your ancestors
All standing in a row,
Would you be proud of them or not
Or don't your really know?
Some strange discoveries are made
In climbing family trees
And some of them you know, do not
Particularly please.
If you could see your ancestors
All standing in a row,
There might be some of them perhaps
You wouldn't care to know
But there's another question, which
Requires a different view.
If you could meet your ancestors
Would they be proud of you?
