Brown necktie and a matching vest
and both his wingtip shoes
He built a closet on a high -back porch
and put a penny in a burned -out fuse
he built houses, stores, and banks
He chained, camels, cigarettes,
and hammered nails and planks
He was a little on the level,
he shaved even every door
Cause Winkler won the war
And let me listen to the radio
Well he tried the church on Sunday
And he'd take me with him too
Stained glass in every window,
Your grandpa was a carpenter,
He built houses, stores, and banks.
Chains smoked chemo cigarettes,
And hammered nails and planks.
He was a level on the level,
Cause Lincoln wouldn't war.
Well, my grandma was a teacher,
she went to school in Bowling Green
Traded in her milk and cow for
Well, she called her husband a mister,
and she walked real tall in pride
She used to buy me comic books
he built houses, stores, and banks
James smoked candles, cigarettes,
and hammered nails and planks
He would level on the level,
he shaved even every door
And voted for Eisenhower,
called Lincoln one to war
Chainsmoked camels, cigarettes,
and hammered nails and planks
He worked level on the level,
he shaved even every door
And voted for Eisenhower,
called Lincoln one to war
And voted for Eisenhower,
called Lincoln one to war
