Grandpa’s Grave

Lyrics

They're removing Grandpa's grave to build a sewer They're removing it regarding some expense They are shifting his remains to lie down sewage drains To satisfy the local residents Now what's the use of living like an angel (Like an angel) If when you die, your troubles never cease? (Never cease) 'Cause some society gink wants a pipeline for a sink They won't let dear old Grandpa rest in peace (Rest in peace) Oh mate, don't excavate Don't desecrate poor Grandpa down there Oh Fred, although he's dead He needs a place to rest his head Now Grandpa in his life was not a quitter And even in his grave, he'll never quit He'll dress up in his sheets and haunt their country seats And only let a mark when he sees fit Now won't there be some blinking consternation? (Consternation) And won't the rotten stinkers curse and rave (Curse and rave) They'll get what they deserve 'cause they had the blinking nerve To muck about with poor old Grandpa's grace Oh, oh oh Oh mate, don't excavate Don't desecrate poor Grandpa haggard Oh Jim, please pack it in Please let him rest in peace We're removing Grandpa's grave to build a sewer We're removing it regardless of expense We're shifting his remains to put in some sewage drains To satisfy the local residents Now there possibly will be some consternation You see, it's the green belt that we've had to sell We shall get what we deserve because we've had the force and verve To excavate that wretched fellow's grave Oh mate, don't excavate Don't desecrate poor Grandpa (oh!) Oh Fred, although he's dead Let him ruminate in peace (Yes)
