Ancestors If you could see your ancestors All standing in a row, Would you be proud of them? Or don't you really know? Strange discoveries are sometimes made, In climbing the family tree. Occasionally one is found in line Who shocks his progeny. If you could see your ancestors All standing in a row, Perhaps there might be one or two You wouldn't care to know Now turn the question right about, And take another view. When you shall meet your ancestors, Will they be proud of you?
