lyrics

When I was a little
girl my grandma had a
plinky child’s piano
and I used to play it

She kept in the basement
where they once held dances
when my dad was just a
boy he kept his Lionel automatic train set there

My, oh my! How time passes by.
They don’t make them like that anymore.

She lived in an old house
with an elevator
a cedar closet made just
for tablecloths and china

Dad was taught to say yes
ma’am please and no thank you
Gentlemen would rise when
ladies joined the table

Grandma taught me how to
curtsy and to bow she
took me to the ice cream
social in the summer time

Azaleas in her garden
hatpins on her dresser
My how I do miss her
She always had a bow that matched her dress tied in her hair.

When I was a little girl my grandma had a plinky child’s piano.
