Grandad - Jake Thackray[00:00:00]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Angels saints and seraphim[00:00:37]

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

On him[00:00:47]

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

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

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

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

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

Angels saints and seraphim[00:01:15]

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

On him[00:01:25]

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

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

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

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

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

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

Angels saints and seraphim[00:01:53]

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

On him[00:02:03]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Angels saints and seraphim[00:02:30]

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

From him [00:02:40]

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

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

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

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

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

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

Angels saints and seraphim[00:03:07]

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

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