At This Table

At This Table is a song sung by Miles and Buster near the end of the special "The Rhythm and Roots of Arthur."

Lyrics
(Miles)

Here around this picnic table,

In their places young and able

See the faces, old and stable

All related, it's like a fable

 

At the table here for years,

The food is served, then disappears

Someone sets, someone clears

But everybody volunteers

 

Yeah, everybody volunteers

 

It’s Uncle What and Auntie Who

They visit every month or two

When is it ever not a feast?

Pick over the leftovers at least

 

And Grandma Where and Cousin When

Remember how it was back then

It’s always fine to bring your friends

Even… vegetarians

 

We come from far and wide on

Your shoulders that we ride on

The sons you keep your eye on

The soldiers we rely on

 

The daughters taking care of business

Do their share of the children in our care for

That’s who we are there for

 

Yeah, yeah,

That’s who we are there for

Cousin Jam!

 

(Buster)

Family is a state of mind

So take your place, relax unwind

 

(Miles)

If you look I think you’ll see,

There are many kinds of family

So here around the picnic table

In their places, young and able

Old and stable, you can see

If you're here, you’re family

 

(Miles and Buster)

If you're here, you’re family
