Granny Takes A Trip
Ralph McTell
Streets Of London - Best Of
Granny Takes A Trip - The Purple Gang
Well she lives all alone in a house by a school,
She wears fur coats and hats and
old fashioned jewels,
And her one aim in life to be on the screen
Top billing with Vali,
her favourite dream.
So once a year Granny takes a trip;
Always first class and she's well-equipped:
For the movie auditions in Hollywood town
She always turns up,
but she's always turned down.
So Granny, my dear,
We all wish you the best
And hope that you find
Your happiness
Well one day on the screen
Granny's bound to be seen:
If she turns up again she's bound to find fame,
So once a year Granny takes a trip;
Always first class and she's well-equipped:
For the movie auditions in Hollywood town
She always turns up,
but she's always turned down.
