I've been sitting here all day, thinking,
Same old grin ten years away, drinking,
Now my days are gone, memories linger on,
Thoughts of when I was a boy.
Penny farthings on the street, riding,
Motor cars were funny things, frightening,
Bowl and hoops and spinning tops,
Andy Gretsels' lollypops,
Comic cats, all different things,
But 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.
Aeroplanes 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'll keep around, near me,
Memories of my younger days, clearly,
Now it's in my mind, everyday I find,
Thoughts of when I was a boy.
But 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.
