Lyrics
Grandma's Song
My favorite lady in the whole wide world -
Was a patient loving good-ol' girl
A sweeter gentler woman you never saw -
She was my song-singin', bread-bakin', sittin' in her bra Grandma!
She already raised her family - then they had kids of their own you see
That made her more than a mother-in-law
She was a song-singin, bread-bakin', sittin' in her bra Grandma!
She made ravioli and home made pies
She loved bingo playing as well as cards
She was a Mustang Granny - a lead foot too
But she could lay a brick or shovel coal as good as you.
She was a pizza chef in a restaurant
She made more food than you could ever want
She loved her ankle-bitin' Chihuahua
She was my song-singin', bread-bakin', sittin' in her bra Grandma!
She loved sittin' out in her rocking chair
Brushin' her long black-n-silver hair
She was the greatest listener you could ever want
She would sit right there & listen to me all night long
She was a pizza chef in a restaurant
She made more food than you could ever want
She loved that ankle-bitin' Chihuahua
She was my song-singi'n, bread-bakin', sittin' in her bra Grandma!
.....and she was my best friend.
