If you could see your ancestors all standing in a row,

would you be proud of them or not;

or don’t you really know?

Some strange discoveries are made in climbing family trees,

but some of them perhaps do not particularly please.

If you could see your ancestors all standing in a row,

there might be some of them perhaps you wouldn’t want to know;

But there’s another question which requires a different view.

If you could meet your ancestor’s would they be proud of you?
