I've  been sitting here all day, thinking,
Same  old grin ten years away, drinking,
Now  my days are gone, memories  linger on,
Thoughts  of when I  was a boy.
Penny  farthings on the street, riding,
Motor  cars were funny things, frightening,
Bowl  and hoops and spinning tops,
Andy  Gretsels' lollypops,
Comic  cats, all  different things,
 But Grandad,  Grandad, you're lovely,
That's  what we all  think of you.
Grandad,  Grandad, you're lovely,
That's  what we all  think of you.
Grandad,  Grandad.
Aeroplanes  tied up with string, flying,
Telephones  and talking things, sighing,
 A radio  and phonograph, Charlie  Chaplin made us laugh,
Silently falling about.
 Familiar  things I'll keep around, near me,
Memories  of my younger days, clearly,
Now  it's in my mind, everyday  I find,
Thoughts  of when I  was a boy.
 But Grandad,  Grandad, you're lovely,
That's  what we all  think of you.
Grandad,  Grandad, you're lovely,
That's  what we all  think of you.
Grandad,  Grandad, Grandad, Grandad, Grandad, Grandad.
 In the loving memory of Derrick Inman (4.5.24 - 12.1.96)
 From your loving Grandson Shaun - may you be at peace with God
