Granny's Got a Guitar (click for Lyrics)

Granny’s Got a Guitar (By Lanny Sherwin) Intro: Granny’s got a guitar, she’s learning how to … rock? She wants to be a star - we want her to … stop! Verse 1: I knew something was weird the minute I walked in the door. My Granny had on shades, a red bandanna, and moon walked across the floor. When she opened that guitar case, I thought she was teasing. Then she plugged it in & cranked it up, I said: “Man, I don’t believe this!” Chorus: Granny’s got a guitar, she’s learning how to rock. She wants to be a star, but we want her to stop. She doesn’t care, she’s having fun making the neighbors run. Everybody near and far knows that Granny’s got a guitar. Verse 2: It’s like she’s wearing gloves when she plays the chords. And when she sings, it’s like fingernails on a chalkboard. She used to be such a sweet old soul – man, she baked us cookies. Now she says: “Let’s rock and roll” and “Get down and boogie!” BR: I sneak a peek at my Grandpop, He’s got a look of total shock. Then a smile comes across his face As he secretly turns off his hearing aid. (‘Cause …) Chorus & Tag (@ 2009 Sherwin Communications,LLC/ASCAP)
