Good Family, Good Values. Let this be their Creed.

lyrics

I’ll tell you a tale about the Barton clan
Some real old time folks known to lend a hand
But this is a story about just The Boys
The real rowdy bunch who make all that noise

Chorus

Well first comes a man with the Barton name
Kyle or Pappy its all the same
The teacher of the Boys and that secret sin
You can see him ‘mobiling with that big o’l grin

Ya Barton, they were as tall as a redwood
Barton, They always did what they said they would.
They Pick ya right up and spin ya around
I never knew a Barton that would let ya down.

Oh there was Paul, King of the Flat-rock Crawl
never knew a boy could get so tall
thought he's just a barsnip and thats all
But now he's the king of the Flat-rock Crawl

Chorus

Kaleb came next right after Paul
So you could say he's the Prince of the Flat-rock Crawl
Half Rugby bones and half Paul’s Spit
In the Order of the Barton’s he’s that last on the list.

Chorus

Grab a Water bucket and sound the alarm
Fire Barton’s here with all of his charm
What else can be said, maybe a joke about a truck?
‘Cause he’s a cousin-Barton and I don't know much
Ya he’s a cousin-Barton and I don't know much!

chorus

So I guess this takes us to Number One
The story of Grandpa Fred and his grandsons
He was the Moonshine Wizard and the Master of Screp
Nicest old Barton that I ever met

He was the Moonshine Wizard and the Master of Screp
Nicest old Barton that I ever met!!

Ya Barton, they were as tall as a redwood
They always did what they said the would
Pick ya right up and spin ya around
I never knew a Barton that would let ya down.

Ya Barton, Tall as a Redwood
Always did would they said they would
Pick ya right up and spin ya around
Never knew a Barton that would let you down

Oh I never knew a Barton that would let you down.
