Under a Canaopy of Stars (Polish Kitchen) by Klecko

Sunday morning - after Mass
Grandma swears - Grandpa Laughs
Relitives - will be here soon
And we'll sit down - for lunch at noon
When we come together we're complete

Carry groceries - from the car
Little Debbies - Nutty Bars
Fresca, Tang - Quisp & Quake
Swanson's dinners - Shake and Bake
All packed neatly in Red Owl bags

Set the table - Then say grace
Pass the food - stuff your face
Aunt Jeanine - gets mad and shouts
Cuz Cousin Jack - hates Brussels sprouts
Everybody has to clean their plate

Broken dishes - stain on shirt
Arguments - before desert
Cup of Sanka - Sara Lee
Cribbage - and Monopoly
Grandpa stops to watch the evening news

And we don't want - the night to end
We don't want - to be apart
The stars come out - to - form - a - canopy
Everyone is comfortable
When they're not alone

Sunday evening - Kitchens closed
Say good bye - time to go
Weddings, funerals, holiday
Is the next time when we'll play
Grandma smiles - waving from the street
Cuz when we come together we're complete
