Grandpa wore his
suit to dinner nearly every day
No particular reason,
he just dressed that way
Brown necktie and a matching
vest and both his wingtip shoes
He built a closet on a high -back porch and
put a penny in a burned -out fuse
Grandpa was a carpenter,
he built houses, stores, and banks
He chained, camels, cigarettes,
and hammered nails and planks
He was a little on the level,
he shaved even every door
Bullet for
Eisenhower
Cause
Winkler won the war
Well he used to sing me
Blood on the
Sabbath
And rock me on his knee
And let me listen to the radio
Before we got to bed
Well he tried the church on
Sunday
And he'd take me with him too
Stained glass in every window,
Ironate in every key.
Your grandpa was a carpenter,
He built houses, stores, and banks.
Chains smoked chemo cigarettes,
And hammered nails and planks.
He was a level on the level,
Shaved even every door.
No need for
Eisenhower,
Cause
Lincoln wouldn't war.
Well, my grandma was a teacher,
she went to school in
Bowling
Green
Traded in her milk and cow for
a sewing machine
Well, she called her husband a mister,
and she walked real tall in pride
She used to buy me com
ic books after
Grandpa died
Grandpa was a carpenter,
he built houses, stores, and banks
James smoked candles, cigarettes,
and hammered nails and planks
He would level on the level,
he shaved even every door
And voted for
Eisenhower, called
Lincoln one to war
Grandpa was a carpenter, he built houses,
