Happy Family, King Crimson from their 1971 album Lizard; Peter Sinfield and Robert Fripps little ode to The Beatles. There is even a portrait of The Beatles on the album cover, behind the green I. An odd musical tribute in that it is virtually a jazz tune, with idiosyncratic piano from the noted British jazz player Keith Tippetts. King Crimson was augmented during this recording session by two of Tippetts colleagues, Marc Charig on trumpet and Nick Evans on trombone. I need to thank Phil Martinez for inviting me to join those Beatle Facebook pages. And I have to wonder if the moderator Mary Miaoulis has heard this or of it? Happy Family, one hand clap, four went by and none came back./Brother Judas, ash and sack, swallowed aphrodisiac./Rufus, Silas, Jonah too sang, Well blow our own canoes,/Poked a finger in the zoo, punctured all the ballyhoo/Whipped the world and beat the clock, wound up with their share of stock/Silver Rolls from golden rock,shaken by a knock, knock, knock/Happy Family, wave that grin, what goes round must surely spin/Cheesecake, mousetrap, Grip-Pipe-Thynne cried out were not Rin Tin Tin/Uncle Rufus grew his nose, threw away his circus clothes/Cousin Silas grew a beard, drew another flask of weird/Nasty Jonah grew a wife, Judas drew his pruning knife./Happy Family one hand clap, four went on but none came back/Happy Family, pale applause, each to his revolving doors/Silas searching, Rufus neat, Jonah caustic, Jude so sweet/Let their sergeant mirror spin, if we lose the barbers win/Happy Family one hand clap, four went on but none came back https://youtube/watch?v=QCJRd-cUxp4
