I ve been sitting here all day, thinking,
Same old dreram ten years away, thinking,
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,
Ball and hoops and spinning tops,
Penny dreadfuls, lollypops,
Comic Cuts, 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.
