Donovan The Ordinary Family lyrics

The Ordinary Family by Donovan

Leitch

My father cut his toe off
In a rotary lawn mower
And my mother burst a blood vessel
When my younger brother went to jail.

So I told her not to worry
Not to get in such a flurry
We're just an ordinary family
With the usual calamity.

When I was just a virgin lad
My mother faked a suicide
Because she found the tell-tale sign
Of puberty upon the sheets.

So I told her not to worry
Not to get in such a flurry
We're just an ordinary family
With the usual calamity.

We always try to look our best
We always take care when we dress
