e kites an' carts an' lots of thingsA
You pull along the ground with stringsA
And he knows all the names of birdsB
And how they call 'thout using wordsB
And where they live and what they eatC
And how they build their nests so neatC
He's lots of fun Sometimes all dayD
He comes to visit me and playD
You see he's getting old and soE
To work he doesn't have to goE
And when it isn't raining heF
Drops in to have some fun with meF
-
He takes my hand and we go outG
And everything we talk aboutG
He tells me how God makes the treesH
And why it hurts to pick up beesH
Sometimes he stops and shows to meF
The place where fairies used to beF
And then he tells me stories tooI
And I am sorry when he's throughI
When I am asking him for moreJ
He says 'Why there's a candy storeJ
Let's us go there and see if theyD
Have got the kind we like to day '-
Then when we get back home my maK
Says 'You are spoiling Buddy Pa '-
-
My grandpa is my mother's paK
I guess that's what all grandpas areL
And sometimes ma all smiles will sayD
'You didn't always act that wayD
When I was little then you saidM
That children should be sent to bedM
And not allowed to rule the placeN
And lead old folks a merry chase '-
And grandpa laughs and says 'That's trueI
That's what I used to say to youI
It is a father's place to showE
The young the way that they should goE
But grandpas have a different taskO
Which is to get them all they ask '-
-
When I get big and old and grayD
I'm going to spend my time in playD
I'm going to be a grandpa tooI
And do as all the grandpas doI
I'll buy my daughter's children thingsA
Like horns and drums and tops with stringsA
And tell them all about the treesH
And frogs and fish and birds and beesH
And fairies in the shady glenP
And tales of giants too and whenP
They beg of me for just one moreJ
I'll take them to the candy storeJ
I'll buy them everything they seeF
The way my grandpa does for meF
