Lyrics

Verse

Sheila Mary with the moody look, checking every corner

Shoes on the mat, sock on the table, plates not stacked like they oughta

She walks in slow, inspects the sink, whispers for gods sake

“Put it away, put it away”

Pre-chorus

She says it once, she says it thrice, she says it like this

Put it away, put it away, put it away.

Verse

She’s quiet and kind, honest to the core

But leave one cup and you’ll hear her roar

Sheila’s got her list and then some more (then some more)

chrous

Welcome to the family

Welcome to the show

Sheila Mary cleans it up

Neat from head to toe

Verse

Chiara runs the treadmill, boasts about the miles.

Johnny big time talks big, everyone he riles,

chrous

Welcome to the family,

Welcome to the show,

Verse

Chiara got an energy battery, draining all the time

Half marathon queen

She’ll tell you twice “I ran it, yes I did, every time

She’s beautiful and clever, quick with jokes and quick with sass

But when it comes to plates and laundry she got a masterclass in pass

Verse

She says no meat, only to her team

I’m Vegetarian is her call

But Sunday roast on the table, she scoffs it all

She’s funny she’s sharp, pinches pennies like a pro

Mood swings like a metronome, high then suicidal low

chrous

Welcome to the family

Welcome to the show

Sheila Mary cleans it up from head to toe

Chiara runs the treadmill, boasts about the miles

Johnny big time talks big, everyone he riles,

chrous

Welcome to the family

Welcome to the show

Verse

Stefan is cocky, he is smart, “I'll be a doctor soon watch me go”

Big time, big brain, big talk making plenty of dough

Handsome, talented, got the plan, but says “I'm busy” and you should know

Leaves the chores to Mum and Dad, “that mess isn’t mine”

He’s lazy with the dishes, says they’re no big deal

But then explains anatomy like he’s invented the wheel

“I study hard, I’m top of the tree, thinks he is no small drink of water

But when it comes to housework he quick off his feet, just doesn’t bother

chrous

Welcome to the family

Welcome to the show

Sheila Mary cleans it up from head to toe

Chiara runs the treadmill

Boasts about the miles

Johnny big time talks big everyone he riles

chrous

Welcome to the family
