[00:00:22] Oh grandpa wore his suit to dinner nearly every day

[00:00:27] No particular reason

[00:00:29] He just dressed that way

[00:00:31] Brown necktie with a matching vest and

[00:00:34] Both his wingtip shoes

[00:00:36] He built a closet on our back porch and

[00:00:38] Put a penny in a burned out fuse

[00:00:40] Grandpa was a carpenter

[00:00:42] He built houses

[00:00:43] Stores and banks

[00:00:45] Chain smoked camel cigarettes

[00:00:47] And hammered nails in planks

[00:00:49] He would level on the level

[00:00:51] He shaved even every door

[00:00:54] And voted for eisen hower

[00:00:56] 'Cause lincoln won the war

[00:01:08] Well he used to sing me blood on the saddl

[00:01:10] And rock me on his knee

[00:01:12] And let me listen to the radio before we got tv

[00:01:17] Well he'd drive to church on sunday and

[00:01:19] He'd take me with him too

[00:01:21] Stained glass in every window

[00:01:24] Hearing aids in every pew

[00:01:26] Grandpa was a carpenter

[00:01:28] He built houses stores and banks

[00:01:31] Chain smoked camel cigarettes

[00:01:33] And hammered nails in planks

[00:01:35] He would level on the level

[00:01:37] He shaved even every door

[00:01:40] And voted for eisen hower

[00:01:42] 'Cause lincoln won the war

[00:01:54] Well my grandma was a teacher

[00:01:56] She went to school in bowling green

[00:01:59] Traded in a milking cow for a singer sewing machine

[00:02:03] Well she called her husband mister

[00:02:05] And she walked real tall and proud

[00:02:08] She used to buy me comic books after grandpa died
