Grandma's Little Helper

 


Grandma's Little Helper

(Maxwell's Silver Hammer)

 

Grandma wasn’t physical, and her shape was very spherical

Lived in a nursing home

Late nights all alone with a tv, ohh uh oh oh

Mister Jerome living in the nursing home

Calls her on the phone

"Can I take you Down to dinner, Jo-o-o-oan?"

But as she's getting ready to go

She opens the cabinet door

 

Down, down Grandma’s little helper

Is placed within her mouth

Down, Down, Grandma ‘s little helper

Started heading south.

 

The tv’s loud again, Gran annoys the crowd again

Nurses get annoyed

Wishing to avoid an unpleasant scene

They tell Gran she’s staid but she needs a hearing aid

Grandma does not agree

Unless they are for free and she tells them so, uh oh oh

But as the words are leaving her lips

She opens the cabinet door

 

Down, down Grandma’s little helper

Is placed within her mouth

Down, Down, Grandma ‘s little helper

Started heading south.

 

Last night Dad and Mum said, "Gran is on the valium"

Grandma lives alone

In the nursing home feeling low, ohh uh oh oh

Down in the infirmary they said she needed surgery

Grandma takes a pill (Grandma takes a pill)

She takes them at will and she tells them no, uh oh oh

But as the words are leaving his lips

She opens the cabinet door

 

Down, down Grandma’s little helper

Is placed within her mouth

Down, Down, Grandma ‘s little helper

Started heading south.

 

Whoa, whoa, whoa, oh

(Do-do, do-do do

She's A Woman (That's Got Depression)

She's A Woman (That's Got Depression) She's A Woman My love has got depression, She needs a psychiatric session. Any time she's down and blue, I try my best to see her through.   My love has got depression And she thinks she’s the one and only. That’s ever been so lonely You know she isn’t.   She forgets to eat, forgets to smile, Says it's all been like this for a while. But I love her more each day, Even when the skies are grey.   She forgets to eat, forgets to smile She won't admit it but it's true, There's a lot that she's been through. Always a frown on her dial   She's a woman who's got depression, But she's a beautiful obsession.   My love has got depression, She needs a psychiatric session. Any time she's down and blue, I try my best to see her through.   My love has got depression And she thinks she’s the one and only. That’s ever been so lonely You know she isn’t. ...

  I'm Down (I'm Down) You tell lies thinking I can't see, You can't cry 'cause you're down like me. I'm down (I'm really, really down), I'm down (Down on the ground), I'm down (I'm really, really down).   How can you laugh when you know I'm down? (How can you laugh?) How can you laugh when you know I'm down?   Here I go, feelin' low again, Every day, it's a mental trend. I'm down (I'm really, really down), I'm down (Down on the ground), I'm down (I'm really, really down).   How can you laugh when you know I'm down? (How can you laugh?) How can you laugh when you know I'm down?   Feelin' stuck in a rut, ain't no thrill, Tried to get out but I'm here still. I'm down (I'm really, really down), I'm down (Down on the ground), I'm down (I'm really, really down).   How can you laugh when you know I'm down? (How can you laugh?)
