Lyrics
Hello Grampa, my old friend,
Your busy day is at an end.
Your exploits have been sad and boring,
They tell a tale that's worth ignoring.
When you're alone, the words of your story
Will echo down the rest-home hall,
'Cause no one at all,
Can stand the sound
Of Grampa.
After the lyrics finished, the music continued while Grampa began to tell a pointless story, only to be cut off by the "Shhh!" at the Gracie Films card.
