All in the Amtangles you're trying to unEtie by telling
But you Etie yourself up with the Amone who's told
Grandma's Amhands are stiff, when I hEold them they're freezing
EShe's still refusing Amto get old
FHer fingers hurt bad, Ccan't close her handbag
ECan't do the buttons of her Amjumper up
FHer body's gone wrong, Cbut stubborn and strong
EShe argues with the Amdoctor
AmCall me the nurse I Edon't want a hearse
The Epolice are getting Amyounger
The Amstairs are getting longer, your Evoice is getting quieter
The Ewind is getting Amstronger
She emiAmgrated from Russia at Enine months old
She's still Egot all her teeth, some are Amfilled with gold
But they Amhurt her now when she Edrinks something cold
She Ewon't stand her false teeth a-Amrattling her gobhole
FHer fingers hurt bad, Ccan't close her handbag
ECan't do the buttons of her Amjumper up
FHer body's gone wrong, Cbut stubborn and strong
EShe argues with the Amdoctor
AmCall me the nurse I Edon't want a hearse
The Epolice are getting Amyounger
The Amstairs are getting longer, your Evoice is getting quieter
The Ewind is getting Amstronger
AmGrandma was raised near EStepney Green
Between EAldgate East and AmPetticoat Lane
Her Ammother always made sure there was Efood to eat
But as a Egirl she ran around without Amshoes on her feet
Her Fdad spoke Russian, Cnot much English
My EGran translated for him, AmCockney to Yiddish
She Fmothered her brothers and Cdaughtered her mother
The blind Efool tried to stop her daughter Amseeing my father
'Cause Fhe was an atheist, Che wasn't kosher
My Emum and dad eloped so thAmey could get closer
But my Fgreat gran told my mum you Clove him that's enough
'Cause my Egreat gran was forced to wed a Amman she didn't love
Grandma Fsaid we didn't know it but Ctimes were very hard then
EBut then at least there was the Amdancing
EBut then at least we could go Amdancing
{Vocal break}
I was the Amoldest sister so I Enever had a childhood
EWhen I was six years Amold, she talks
I had to Amspoon feed and Ecarry my brothers
E'Till they were old eAmnough to walk
As a Amgirl she worked as a Eseamstress
That's Ehow her nine brothers and her Amsister were fed
She Amhas a little hole in her Efront tooth
From the Econstant biting of the Amcotton and thread
FHer fingers hurt bad, Ccan't close her handbag
ECan't do the buttons of her Amjumper up
FHer body's gone wrong, Cbut stubborn and strong
EShe argues with the Amdoctor
AmCall me the nurse I Edon't want a hearse
The Ecops are getting Amyounger
The Amstairs are getting longer, your Evoice is getting quieter
The Ewind is getting Amstronger
When she was Amseventy years I saw her Ethrow a spinning top
And Ecatch it spinning on a Ampiece of string
She could Amtouch her toes and Eshoot a netball
And Espin around the Amballroom dancing
FWaltzes, Fandangos, CCharlestons and Tangos
EShe and my grandpa would Amfoxtrot
FThey won prizes but Cillness sacrifices Eyouth
So now they have boAmth stopped
AmCall me the nurse I Edon't want a hearse
The Ecops are getting Amyounger
The Amstairs are getting longer, your Evoice is getting quieter
The Ewind is getting Amstronger
Well Amcall me the nurse I Edon't want a hearse
The Epolice are getting Amyounger
The Amstairs are getting longer, your Evoice is getting quieter
The Ewind is getting Amstronger
The Ewind is getting Amstronger
The Ewind is getting Amstronger
