My Grandpa Is Old Too

I want all you young people to know what to do
Leave my grandpa alone 'cause he done got old too
That's my grandpa, that's my grandpa
That's my grandpa, sweetest man I ever saw

Mama told me, oh, day of old
Your grandpa stood by, till this is told
Now don't bother my grandpa 'cause he done got old too
I ain't jivin', I ain't jokin'
He ain't gon' never bother you

My grandpa he shouts for joy
Been takin' care of me ever since I was a boy
He gettin' old now
And he really is
Reason I know it 'cause I'm old myself

My grandpa says son, take me a walk
Say I wanna go where's the coolest place you know
I say why, grandpa?
'Cause grandpa gettin' old

Tell all you people, I want you to understand
Grandpa once have been a young man
He gettin' old now
He's gettin' to be a old man
He can't remember 'morrow, but he still understand

He look at me and say, what this all about?
Give me my pipe son, he had it in his mouth
He's an old man, you know he done got mindless
He don't hardly know what he doin'
But he's still my grandpa
But it ain't nothin' else to 'im

Tell all you young people, I don't mean no harm
I just want you to leave my grandpa alone
He done got old now, he dependin' on me
If you bother my grandpa
I'm the one you gotta see

My dear old dad
