With lyrics by the Dude of Life and music arranged by Phish, “Family Picture” was played live but twice – once at the Dude's wedding, and then its only public performance on 11/8/91 at the Ivory Tusk in Tuscaloosa, AL. This is unquestionably a good thing. You can also hear it on the Dude’s album Crimes of the Mind, but you really don’t want to. Trust me.
Lyrics:
It's really plain and easy to see.
The family grows like a fungus on a tree.
The fungus keeps growing wide and tall.
We're happy when we flourish and sad when we fall.
We're just a bunch of monkeyâs that gathers around
You cannot draw the line of family ground
Smile for the camera and wait for the flash
There's always room for more in this family bash.
Would you like to be?
Would you like to be?
Would you like to be in my family picture?
It's getting hard to tell whom we love and hate
I think it's time we set the record straight
There are no papers that we ask you to sign
You don't need to stand in a waiting line.
The lens is in focus we're ready to go
The joint will be jumping come rain or snow
So hold on to your honey and drink up your booze
Just hop into the picture you've got nothing to lose.
Would you like to be?
Would you like to be?
Would you like to be in my family picture?
