Lyrics

[Chorus]

Oh, a family is people and a family is love.

That's a family.

They come in all different sizes and different kinds,

But mine's just right for me.

Yeah, mine's just right for me.

I've got a friend who lives with his mom and dad,

With his brother and sister, too.

They've got a cat, a dog and a pet bullfrog

And I'm really glad they do.

Oh, a family is people and a family is love.

That's a family.

They come in all different sizes and different kinds,

But mine's just right for me.

Yeah, mine's just right for me.

There's a girl I know who lives with her mom.

Her dad lives far away.

Although she sees her parents just one at a time,

They both love her everyday.

Oh, a family is people and a family is love.

That's a family.

They come in all different sizes and different kinds,

But mine's just right for me.

Yeah, mine's just right for me.

I know a boy who's new, he just moved in.

He moved from Alabama.

And the person who's the head of his family,

is his loving, dear old gramma.

Oh, a family is people and a family is love.

That's a family.

They come in all different sizes and different kinds,

But mine's just right for me.

Yeah, mine's just right for me.

Trivia

• Starting in "A Very Special Delivery!", the first & second original verses of this song are sung together (most of the time). In "Aunt Rachel Is Here!" and "This Way In! This Way Out!" and "Sing Along with Barney & Friends", this song retains the chorus break between the verses that was originally sung.
• In "Sing and Dance with Barney", the verse about the new boy who moved from Alabama was sung right after the verse about the girl and her separated parents without the regular chorus being sung.
• This song was used in some Spanish Barney albums:
  • Tributo a Barni (1996)
  • Las Canciones de Barney (1998)
