《Grandad》歌词

[00:00:00] Grandad - Jake Thackray

[00:00:10] If you come around to mourn for Grandad

[00:00:13] Don't dress up in black cause

[00:00:15] Although me Grandad's dead

[00:00:16] And buried odds on he'll be back yes

[00:00:20] Although they stuffed him in a coffin and read out the will and

[00:00:24] Although he's six foot deep in darkness he'll never lie still

[00:00:29] He's made of sterner stuff he's not dead enough

[00:00:37] Angels saints and seraphim

[00:00:41] Please please will you try to keep an eye

[00:00:47] On him

[00:00:50] On his ninetieth birthday Grandad went down for a drink now

[00:00:54] Me Grandad is a rabid dipso with a throat like a sink he

[00:00:59] Drank himself toward the skyline and his friends to the floor just

[00:01:03] To prove how fit he was for boozing for ninety years more

[00:01:07] Your pearly gates he'll climb when it's opening time

[00:01:15] Angels saints and seraphim

[00:01:19] You'll you'll find it hard to keep a guard

[00:01:25] On him

[00:01:28] They brought him home upon a handcart

[00:01:29] With his legs in the air he

[00:01:32] Was singing Rule Britannia backwards in his underwear he

[00:01:37] Challenged all the county police force to a fight right away then

[00:01:41] He offered to put the Ladies' Union in the family way

[00:01:45] Your crystal domes will shake when he makes his break

[00:01:53] Angels saints and seraphim

[00:01:57] He'll give you the slip so get a grip

[00:02:03] On him

[00:02:05] The doctor lifted up an eyelid and pronounced him gone but

[00:02:09] To judge from Grandad's finger signals

[00:02:11] The doctor was wrong they

[00:02:14] Dressed him in his Sunday night shirt

[00:02:16] They combed out his hair but

[00:02:18] They couldn't get my Grandad's boots off

[00:02:20] He'd need them up there

[00:02:22] Your silken wings he'll shed

[00:02:25] He will paint Paradise red

[00:02:30] Angels saints and seraphim

[00:02:34] Please Please don't expect that much respect

[00:02:40] From him

[00:02:43] Even at the solemn moment he wouldn't behave for

[00:02:46] I heard him whistling in his coffin

[00:02:48] On his way to the grave he

[00:02:51] Took off toward the New Jerusalem with his pinch of salt I

[00:02:55] Distinctly heard him flatulating in his marble vault

[00:02:59] Your candles will be dimmed when he gets the wind

[00:03:07] Angels saints and seraphim

[00:03:11] Although he's old although he's cold

[00:03:19] Keep a tight hold on him
