Lyrics & Translation

[English]

the posies are on vacation right now and

look how happy

they are family yoga break

why are you so obsessed with the poses

they're just our neighbors they're just

so perfect i mean even their dog is in

better shape than ours

what are they feeding that thing other

dogs

lin don't worry about them look at them

they're jealous of us right katie

i see you moping back there but what at

your college could possibly be better

than this

we set up a slip and slide in the dorms

it's amazing this is the best day of my

life i'm making lifelong bonds

i'm missing everything

come on hon your father is trying let's

meet him halfway here huh what do you

say

that's the law mom law because i am the

sheriff

let it begin

the last humans must be here somewhere

wait

they're coming

is that a burnt orange 1993 station

wagon or is it

ah who are these unstoppable warriors

we're the mitchells

the only people who can save the world

i'm super sorry everyone let me

introduce myself

i'm katie i'm sort of a weirdo my

parents haven't figured me out yet to be

fair

it took me a while to figure myself out

my brother

also weird hi would you like to talk to

me about dinosaurs no okay thank you

and my mom katie face cops all of us

really

how about we put our phones down and we

can make 10 seconds

of unobstructed family eye contact

starting now

see this is good right here this is

natural

every family has its challenges we

haven't had a good family picture in

years because you two are always

arguing for my family our greatest

challenge

[Applause]

probably the robot apocalypse

attention all robots capture every

single person on the planet

yeah what would a functional family do

butterfly formation

[Music]

so we just do that right

who's behind this wow i gave you all

boundless knowledge and you treated me

like this

swipe swipe poke poke pigs

are the last people left it's up to us

save the world katie we're gonna do this

together put your family on three right

now

sorry all right

i'll find them now everything with a

computer chip is alive

mitchells have always been weird and

that's what makes us great

hold on a second what's a furby

why would someone build that

oh
