Lessons From My Grandma ft. Ben Crawford Lyrics

Grandma told me (she told me)

When I was a lad (just a lad)

To sit beside her when she was sad (so sad)

She said

Son (oh dear)

My time is nigh (it's getting near)

One of these days (like next Thursday)

You're gonna die

Death is swift

Death is kind

Death is never far behind

You could eat a bad shrimp

You could blow up in a blimp

You could get rabies from a raccoon

Or get stabbed with a spoon

You could be playing the electric bass

And get electrocuted in the face

My grandson you should live in fear

Because death is always near

Death is swift

Death is kind

Death is never far behind

Listen sonny I heard the other day from Lucinda when we were playing bridge

That her husband's

Nephew's brother

Was eating at a restaurant

And at this particular restaurant they had some bad beef

And I'm not talking about a fight, no

Their beef was actually bad

And because of that, she got a parasite in her food

That ended up in her body

And you wouldn't believe the amount of pooping

And puking that happened before she finally slipped away

So you need to make sure that you're taking care of yourself

Death is swift

Death is kind

Death is never far behind
