My Grandpa Is Old Too lyrics

I want all you young people to know what to do
Leave my grandpa alone `cause he done got old too
That`s my grandpa, that`s my grandpa
That`s my grandpa, sweetest man I ever saw

Mama told me, oh, day of old
Your grandpa stood by, tell this is told
Now don`t bother my grandpa `cause he done got old too
I ain`t jivin`, I ain`t jokin`
Ain`t gonna never bother you

My grandpa he shouts for joy
Been takin` care of me ever since I was a boy
He getting old now
And he really is
Really I know it `cause I`m old myself

My grandpa says son, take me a walkin`
Say I wanna go where`s the coolest place you know
I say why, grandpa?
`Cause grandpa`s getting old

Tell all you people, done want you to understand
Grandpa once have been a young man
He getting old now
He`s getting to be an old man
He can`t remember `morrow, but he still understands

He look at me and he say, what`s this all about?
Give me my pipe son, and he had it in his mouth
He`s an old man, you know he don`t got the mind,
You see he don`t hardly know what he`s doing
But he`s still my grandpa
But he ain`t nothin` else to turn

Tell all you young people, I don`t mean no harm
I just want you to leave my grandpa alone
He says I`ve got old now, have pity on me

If you bother my grandpa,
I`m the one you gotta see

My dear old dad.
