Granny Takes A Trip - Ralph McTell

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.
