Grandad

I've been sitting here all day, thinking
Same old dream ten years away, thinking
Now my days are gone, mem'ries linger on,
thoughts of when I was a boy.

Penny farthings on the street, riding
Motorcars were funny things, frightening
Bow and hoops and spinning tops, 
Annie Gretzel's lollipops,
comic cuts, all different things.

(Chorus:)
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 keep around, near me
Memories of my younger days, clearly
come into my mind, everyday I find 
thoughts of when I was boy.

Chorus

Grandad... grandad...
