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 My dear old dad
