Grandmas Just Wanna Have Fun

Symbols of my grandma... her cigarettes and her fuzzy purple hat... a Corset below.

Mom...prim and proper from Boston.

Me Now (old hippie).....................and, above, way back then (young hippie)

These images are elements in my song about Grandmas through the generations. I can't format them very well in this blog, but I think you'll enjoy them anyway, especially after you read the words.

Grandmas Just Wanna Have Fun

Verse 1

My Grandma wore a corset
And a fuzzy purple hat
She buried treasures in her chest
And owned a baseball bat

She used to be a flapper
And dance into the night
But that was then and this is now
Her lap fits me just right

Chorus 1
Oh Grandma, Grandma
Having lots of fun
Grandma, Grandma
Her work was never done.

Verse 2
My mom became the grandma
And wore a blue housecoat
She made egg carton castles
Complete with cotton moats

She used to be a singer
And sing into the night
But that was then and this is now
She fits my kids just right

Chorus 2
Oh Grandma, Grandma
Having lots of fun
Grandma, Grandma
She wore a big fat bun

Verse 3
Now I am the Grandma
In t-shirts and blue jeans
I used to be a hippie
On the music scene

I keep treasures in my bosom
And sing into the night
My grandsons call me “Damma”
That name fits me just right!

Chorus 3
Oh, Damma, Damma,
Having lots of fun
Damma, Damma
Always on the run

Verse 4
Through the generations
Grandma’s play their part
Mischief making with the kids
Helps them to be smart

We always miss our grandma’s
It’s over much too soon
The treasure chests and castles
And brightly filled balloons

Chorus 4
Oh Grandma, Grandma
Having lots of fun
Grandma, Grandma
Her work was never done

Always love your Grandma
They know just what to do
Listen to your Grandma
Cause you might be one too!

Oh Grandma, Grandma
Having lots of fun
Grandma, Grandma
They all have big fat buns

Always love your Grandma
They know just what to do
Listen to your Grandma
So you can learn

To tie a shoe...
To make a stew...
To use some glue...
To run a crew...
To train a cockatoo...
To ride a kangaroo...

So you can be one too!!!
