I Don't Like Half the Folks I Love
My family reunion is going on today.
My relatives have all flow in
From places far away.
As we sit here eatin' chicken
It hits me like a truck.
I don't like half the folks I love.
My and my former best friend
Had a big fallin' out.
I caught him with my wife
So I punched him in the mouth.
We just can't hang out anymore
But I still wish them luck.
I don't like half the folks I love.
God knows they're all dear to me
But if the truth be told,
I like it when they come,
But I love it when they go.
I'm sure they've got good qualities
But the bad ones cover them up.
I don't like half the folks I love.
My alcoholic buddies are fun to hang around
When we drink together, peace and joy are bound
But sometimes they bring me one more shot
When they know I've had enough
I don't like half the folks I love.
God knows they're all dear to me
But if the truth be told,
I like it when they come,
But I love it when they go.
I'm sure they've got good qualities
But the bad ones cover them up.
I don't like half the folks I love.
In this world we live in
This I guarantee
We all need more tolerance
To get along peacefully.
But I'm not as nice as Jesus,
And I really am fed up.
I don't like half the folks I love.
God knows they're all dear to me
But if the truth be told,
I like it when they come,
But I love it when they go.
I'm sure they've got good qualities
But the bad ones cover them up.
I don't like half the folks I love.
I don't like half the folks I love.
My relatives have all flow in
From places far away.
As we sit here eatin' chicken
It hits me like a truck.
I don't like half the folks I love.
My and my former best friend
Had a big fallin' out.
I caught him with my wife
So I punched him in the mouth.
We just can't hang out anymore
But I still wish them luck.
I don't like half the folks I love.
God knows they're all dear to me
But if the truth be told,
I like it when they come,
But I love it when they go.
I'm sure they've got good qualities
But the bad ones cover them up.
I don't like half the folks I love.
My alcoholic buddies are fun to hang around
When we drink together, peace and joy are bound
But sometimes they bring me one more shot
When they know I've had enough
I don't like half the folks I love.
God knows they're all dear to me
But if the truth be told,
I like it when they come,
But I love it when they go.
I'm sure they've got good qualities
But the bad ones cover them up.
I don't like half the folks I love.
In this world we live in
This I guarantee
We all need more tolerance
To get along peacefully.
But I'm not as nice as Jesus,
And I really am fed up.
I don't like half the folks I love.
God knows they're all dear to me
But if the truth be told,

But I love it when they go.
I'm sure they've got good qualities
But the bad ones cover them up.
I don't like half the folks I love.
I don't like half the folks I love.
