Verse 1
(D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) Yes (G major) sir (A major) ee,
she (D major) was a great gal, (G major) Hoagie.
Who was, Cassie?
Grandma Teeter (D major) -Totter.
Well, what did she do, (G major) Cassie?
What did she do?
Why ain't you (A major) here? (D major)
Grandma Teeter -Totter
took herself to the fireman's ball.
Grandma Teeter -Totter
had the (A major) best time of all.
When (D major) she danced the polka,
someone hollered (G major) loud and (Fdim) bold,
Grand (E major) ma, you (D major) ain't ever (A major) growin' (D major) old (G major)
(D major) Grandma teeter -totter
with a rose in her hair
Shouted, boys, play harder,
I'm a (A major) -dancin' (E major) on (A major) air
Then (D major) she grabbed a preacher
who said (G major) dancin' was a sin
Spinned (D major) him till his coat (A major) tails
split the (D major) wind (G major) (D major)
Grandma teeter -totter
danced the length of the floor
Just then, Grandpa entered
through the crowd at (E major) the door.
(A major) He (D major) was full of tonic
from a (G major) nursing of his (A flatdim) knee.
(Fdim) Grand (D major) ma passed him by
with a high, whoopee, whoopee!
Yeah, Grandpa teeter -tottered
with a frown of dismay.
Told that fancy trotter
she had (E major) best hit the hay.
That's (D major) right!
That's when Grandma shouted
with a (G major) twinkle in her eye.
Come up and (A major) see my
etchings of by (D major) -and -by (G major)
(D major) Grandma teeter -totter
took to the punch bowl again
She drank up more than she ought to,
this is (A major) what (E major) happened (A major) then
Grand (D major) ma grabbed the fiddle,
grabbed it from (G major) the leader's hand
Play (D major) -doh promised (A major) me to beat
the (D major) band (G major) (D major) (G major)
(A major) Grand (D major) ma teeter -totter
heard them shouting her name
Saw a gray -haired lady
dancing her (E major) plumb to (A major) shame
Pick (D major) ing up her heels so high
that (G major) people stared in awe
My! (A major) What's up, (E major) Cassie?
(A major) To my great -grandmother,
my grandma's mother
Grandma teeter -totter's father's
(D major) mother (G major) (A major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
(D major) Grandma teeter -totter
looked around for a spell
Saw that pole hole in the floor,
they (A major) called the (E major) fireman's (A major) well
Nex (D major) t thing we knew,
Grandma was a (G major) -slidin'
down the pole
Shoutin' (D major) fire, fire, fire (A major) in the (D major) hole
(A major) Grand (D major) ma teeter -totter
brought that ball to a close
When that dancin' daughter
had him (A major) drag out the hose
Now (D major) she's crowned mighty,
but the (G major) story's still untold
Grand (D major) ma Peter's daughter
can (E major) never grow (A major) old
(D major)
