Lyrics
It's Time
-JD Carroll/Creative Ventures Music, Inc./ASCAP
I think its/ time we took the keys away from Grandpa.
His driving's getting worse everyday.
He smashes into things and says it's not his fault,
Then he blames someone who left yesterday.
I think it's time we take his keys away.
I think it's time we found a home for Grandpa.
His ramblings are out of control.
His thoughts seem to bounce around like a ping-pong ball
and he tells more fibs than Pinocchio.
I think it's time we found him a home.
CHORUS
We are all growing older
That's a fact of life
Some people lose their direction
and we all have to help get them right.
And it's often very hard to get them right.
Instrumental
It's time we took the guns away from Grandpa.
He keeps shooting everywhere but doesn't aim.
He's going to hurt someone and never even tell us
And we will all have to take the blame.
It's time to take his guns away.
I think we should/ keep the kids away from Grandpa.
He has gotten too touchy-feely in the past.
He has made remarks about the younger girls
That would even make a longshoreman gasp.
I think we should keep the kids away.
CHORUS
We are all growing older
That's a fact of life
Some people lose their direction
And we all have to help get them right.
And it's often very hard to get them right.
