Stay Down Here With Nan
I said " Son it's gonna be fun,
you'll be with Granpa all day
I know you'll be good
like little boys should
all the time that yer mommy is away.
With ya baseball bat and ya Blue Jays cap
yer sure one smart little boy.
Give ya Pop a spill
take yer shovel and pail
out back and play in the sand."
Well ! I got a surprise
when I realized
Lo and Behold he was gone
When I looked around
it was then that I found
He was out diggin holes in the lawn.
I said, "Little man,
you dig holes in the sand,
go to church, don't steal and no lies.
Cause if yer not good
like a little boy boy should
You won't go to heaven when you die."
He said, "Granpa knows nothin at all.
You don't understand like ya should.
Little boys can't stay one place all day
and it's no fun being good.
Now I'm not sure bout Heaven no more
I might have to cancel yer plan
If I'm not allowed to dig holes in the cloud
Then I'll stay down here with nan."
Well, I darn near cried
when I stepped outside
An old stray dog he'd found
with it olt by the tail
saying "good dog, pal"
Brings him home to the mud and sits down.
I said "Pops mad
cause yer just being bad,
yer suppose to be a good lil boy.
If yer not good
like a lil boy should
Then you won't go to Heaven when ya die."
He Says " Granpa knows nothin at all.
Ya don't understand like ya should.
A little boys blood's mostly water and mud
and it's no good being good.
Now I'm not sure bout Heaven no more,
just might have to cancel yer plans.
If I'm not allowed to dig holes in the cloud
Then I'll stay down here with nan."
I was worn to the bone
when his mommy came home
Said "Golly he sure was bad.
Dug up the lawn,
done everything wrong,
Ruined every stitch of clothes that he had.
Told him he should
try his best to be good
so mommy could be proud of her boy.
Told him if he wasn't good
like little boys should
he wouldn't go to Heaven when he die."
He said " Granpa knows nothin at all,
Mommy, you can now tell dad,
That granpa is old
and don't really know
if little boys are good or bad
He said little boys goes to Heaven when they die
but he must understand
If I'm not allowed to dig a hole in the cloud
Then I'll stay down here with nan."
