Who will take Grandma? Who will it be?
All of us want her, I'm sure you'll agree!
Let's call a meeting, let's gather the clan
Let's get it settled as soon as we can
In such a big family there is certainly one
Willing to give her a place in the sun.
Strange how she thought she would never wear out.
But see how she walks, arthritis no doubt
Her eyesight is faded, her memory's dim
She's apt to insist on the silliest whim
When people get older, they become such a care!
She must have a home, but the question is where.
Remember the days she used to be spry
Baked her own cookies and baked her own pies?
Helped us with lessons and tended our seams
Kissed away troubles and mended our dreams
Wonderful Grandma! We all loved her so!
Isn't it dreadful, She has no place to go.
One little corner is all she would need
A shoulder to cry on, her Bible to read
A chair by the window with the sun shining thru
Some pretty flowers still covered with dew
Who'll warm her with love, so she won't mind the cold?
Oh, who will take Grandma, now that she's old?
What? Nobody want her? Oh yes, there is one
Willing to give her a place in the sun
Where she won't have to worry or wonder or doubt
And she won't be OUR problem to worry about
Pretty soon now. God will give her a bed
But who'll dry our tears when Grandma is dead?
