Granny Takes a Trip

Oh she lives all alone In a house by a school She wears fur coats and hats And old fashioned jewels And her one aim in life Is to be on the screen Top billing for granny Is her favourite dream So once a year granny takes a trip Always first class and she's well equipped For the movie auditions in Hollywood town She always turns up But she's always turned down So Granny, my dear we all wish you the best And hope that you find your happiness And one day on the screen Granny's bound to be seen If she turns up again She's bound to find fame So once a year granny takes a trip Always first class and she's well equipped For the movie auditions in Hollywood town She always turns up But she's always turned down --- Granny Takes a Trip - Ralph McTell
