"The Grandparents
Song"
(a.k.a. "Let's Sing a Song to Grandma/Grandpa)
based on "La ci darem la mano" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Words & Arrangement by Arthur B. Rubinstein
Let's sing a song to Grandma
With voices clear and strong.
Grandma's the one we turn to
Whenever things go wrong.
If you're afraid and shy
She'll brush away your fears,
And if you should start to cry
She'll kiss away your tears.
When she's away, I always seem to get in trouble.
And if I stray, it makes mom and dad get sore.
But then Grandma comes to see me
And everything's okay.
She makes the sun shine brighter
I love her more each day.
Let's sing a song for Grandpa
With voices strong and true
He is the one we count on
When no one else will do
No one's as smart as Grandpa
To this he would agree.
He knows all there is to know,
And teaches it to me.
Through pain and woe they're always there to help us work things out
And as we grow, they'll never let us lose our way.
Someday I'll be a Grandma/Grandpa
With grandkids on my knee.
And when they come to visit
They'll sing this song to me.
We love Grandma. We love Grandpa.
And we're here to say:
Let the joyful music ring
On this, their holiday.
For their lasting love and guidance
How can we repay?
Let's all sing this song to them
On Grandparent's Day.
Through pain and woe they're always there to help us work things out
And as we grow, they'll never let us lose our way.
Someday I'll be a Grandma/Grandpa
With grandkids on my knee.
And when they come to visit
They'll sing this song to me.
