Grandad Songtext
von Clive Dunn

I′ve been sitting here all day, thinking
Same old dream ten years away, thinking
Now my days are gone, memories linger on
Thoughts of when I was a boy

Penny farthings on the street, riding
Motorcars were funny things, frightening
Bowling hoops and spinning tops
Penny dreadfuls, lollipops
Comic cuts, all different things

Grandad, grandad, you're lovely
That′s what we all think of you
Grandad, grandad, you're lovely
That's what we all think of you
Grandad, grandad


Airplanes tied up with string, flying
Telephones and talking things, sighing
A radio and phonograph
Charlie Chaplin made us laugh
Silently falling about

Familiar things I keep around, near me
Memories of my younger days, clearly
Come into my mind, every day I find
Thoughts of when I was a boy

Grandad, grandad, you′re lovely
That′s what we all think of you
Grandad, grandad, you're lovely
That′s what we all think of you
Grandad, grandad

Grandad, grandad
Grandad, grandad
