Song for Granddad
His name’s Harvey, no James, No Jim,
Sorry I’m abit dim,
Granddad can you see your feet?
Let loose the valve,
Szzzzzzzzzzzzzz,
I want to delve into your history,
75 years,
You have a lot of children,
So your legacy will live on,
If it wasn’t for you,
I wouldn’t be here now,
What a thought,
Shall we go deeper?
You’ve written a book,
Here’s a quote,
‘And God said let us make man in our image’,
No sorry that’s the bible,
You know you wrote too many quotes, too many quotes,
Not quite a best seller,
What you don’t wanna hear is Granddad tell a joke,
You’ll be there all day,
But hey,
I should say,
Save the jokes for another day,
None of us have all day,
He’s never heard of a one-liner,
Here’s one for you,
Do you wanna hear a pizza joke?
Nah forget it its pretty cheesy,
Chorus:
He’s got the eye of the tiger,
And he’s still going strong,
Rising up to the challenge of his rivals,
He’s the last known survivor,
He survived the apocalypse,
And he’s watching us all with the eye,
Of the tiger!
Granddads song part 2
Granddad’s got a peach of a C.V.,
You might see him on T.V.,
He can preach, He can swing a golf club,
You won’t ever see him down the pub,
Don’t forget Jesus turned water into wine,
He’s not your average Calvin Klein,
He’s Pastor Jim Davies,
A natural comedian,
With a legion of fans,
He can’t wait to get to heaven,
But he’s enjoying his time on earth,
And for all its worth,
He’s a great role-model,
I’ll buy you a drink,
Cos it’s your birthday,
Chin, Chin,
But it won’t be a glass of gin.
Granddads song part 3
He’s been in the navy,
You can call him Davy,
Jones, the ruler of the ocean,
From the pirates of the Caribbean,
You should see him,
You know you want to be him,
He doesn’t just talk the talk,
He walks the walk,
If you hear him preach,
You’ll be at the edge of your seat,
He raised a son called Gardening Pete,
I’d like to see a contest of some sort,
Where they both compete,
He knows the scriptures like the back of his hand,
Like Davy Jone’s said, ‘do you fear death?’
Hold on a sec, let me catch my breath,
He was a bus driver,
He’s brave, bold, but he’s never took the plunge,
And become a scuba diver,
He’s got the eye of the tiger,
And he is a survivor.
