[00:09.81]Don't bother grandma 'cause she's right
[00:14.18]Or you'll be in some mess
[00:17.10]
[00:18.48]I see how you see her creaky bones,
[00:23.04]bitchin' 'bout IRS
[00:25.60]
[00:27.66]Well, take a look child through this photo album
[00:31.77]
[00:32.65]She sang to sailors in the war, baseball stadiums
[00:36.89]Nineteen forty eight
[00:40.52]
[00:46.01]Well, now you'll graduate
[00:48.26]And you think you're going to move out now
[00:52.94]
[00:55.19]I will congratulate you
[00:57.74]as soon as you pay your own way
[01:01.91]
[01:04.29]Not tryin' to stick a pin in your shiny new balloon
[01:09.59]Your alimony check won't buy a bigger room
[01:13.64]or a new car
[01:17.53]
[01:24.89]Don't ever think about coming 'round here
[01:28.21]
[01:30.63]With that junior from up the street
[01:33.93]
[01:36.25]Sneakers squeaking on the kitchen tile,
[01:39.74]hat pulled below his eyes
[01:42.11]That boy is trouble in his sleep
[01:45.11]
[01:47.73]You got your father's reckless charm, babe
[01:51.35]
[01:53.47]Long as you're giving, somebody'll take
[01:56.89]
[01:59.25]Oh, every sermon is not the gospel, babe
[02:02.44]Let me put it in another way,
[02:05.05]every valley is not a lake
[02:08.12]
[02:21.65]Before I let you go with your friends
[02:25.52]
[02:26.21]got one more thing to say
[02:28.46]
[02:30.83]You think my love is tough
[02:33.12]Should've seen your grandma in her day
[02:37.67]
[02:40.11]Oh, use your wits child 'cause nothing stays the same
[02:45.28]In forty years my song will be public domain
[02:49.34]Oh, oh, oh, sharp tongue, quick switch,
[03:00.45]
[03:03.64]sharp tongue, quick switch
[03:09.94]
[03:13.30]We'll make, finally a quality man
