[Verse]
GrandF#maddy and I did toil
From Emorn to sun-down, hands in soil
We Dgrew those sweet green peas, until our Afingers they were raw
The F#mpeas were ripe, the pods they grew
The Esweet green peas were all we knew
We Dpicked them all with just the two of us down in the Afields
GranF#mdaddy would then grade the peas
And Echeck for those anomalies
If they Ddidn't score an A you see, he'd Athrow the darn pea out
There F#mwas a special song he'd sing
He'd Esing it as he sorted through
Next Dtime you'll think of him, when we Asell our peas to you
[Verse]
This is the Etop of the crop
And it Dwasn't you would Ablame us
A Egrade-A pea you see
DWe don't serve Agrade-B or C
BWe'd never stoop down to ED
So you can taste the DA-ness
You can taste the AA-ness
In your Emouth
You can taste the DA-ness
You can taste the AA-ness
You can Etaste the freshness
ETaste the green-ness
ETaste the sweetness
EReally taste the pea-ness
Grandaddy checks the DA-ness
So you can taste the Apea-ness
Grandaddy checks the EA-ness
So you can taste the Apea-ness
Grandaddy checks the DA-ness
So you can taste the Apea-ness
You can Etaste the freshness
ETaste the green-ness
ETaste the sweetness
EReally taste the pea-ness
[Verse]
But wF#mhat of dear old grandmama
The rEeal brains behind the farm
While grDandad had grade A for tea he’d fAop her off with B or C
So lF#mate at night she’d sneak around
She’Ed pick the best peas that she found
She hDad the sweetest peas of all; She played grandaddy for a fAool (for a fool, for a fool)
Grandmama had hDer-peas
Grandmama had hAer-peas
In her mEouth
Grandmama had hAer-peas
Grandmama had hDer-peas
Grandmama had Aher-peaEs
Grandmama had Aher-peas

[Verse]

F#m

Grandaddy and I did toil

From morn to sun-down, hands in soil

D A

We grew those sweet green peas, until our fingers they were raw

F#m

The peas were ripe, the pods they grew

The sweet green peas were all we knew

D A

We picked them all with just the two of us down in the fields

F#m

Grandaddy would then grade the peas

And check for those anomalies

D A

If they didn't score an A you see, he'd throw the darn pea out

F#m

There was a special song he'd sing

He'd sing it as he sorted through

D A

Next time you'll think of him, when we sell our peas to you

[Verse]

This is the top of the crop

D A

And it wasn't you would blame us

A grade-A pea you see

D A

We don't serve grade-B or C

B E

We'd never stoop down to D

So you can taste the A-ness

You can taste the A-ness

In your mouth

You can taste the A-ness

You can taste the freshness

Taste the green-ness

Taste the sweetness

Really taste the pea-ness

Grandaddy checks the A-ness

So you can taste the pea-ness

Grandaddy checks the A-ness

So you can taste the pea-ness

Grandaddy checks the A-ness

So you can taste the pea-ness

You can taste the freshness

Taste the green-ness

Taste the sweetness

Really taste the pea-ness

[Verse]

F#m

But what of dear old grandmama

The real brains behind the farm

D A

While grandad had grade A for tea he’d fop her off with B or C

So late at night she’d sneak around

She’d pick the best peas that she found

D A

She had the sweetest peas of all; She played grandaddy for a fool (for a fool, for a fool)

Grandmama had her-peas

In her mouth

Grandmama had her-peas

A E

Grandmama had her-peas
