Verse 1
Thank you.
(G major) Now that is really an old song there,
but now we're going to bring
you up to date
and we're going to get David to sing you a song that's really complicated,
but now David's going to sing it for you.
And he'll tell you more about it
than I really know.

This is some serious subject matter here.
It's a song that the whole family can appreciate,
though.
I just think, you know,
just try and get with the lyrics,

I'll tell you what, let's
just sing it and see what happens.
See what happens, Because, you know.
He's his own grandpa. (D major) (G major)
