On My Way To Grandma's
I baked some yummy cookies and wrapped them up real nice
I was on my way to grandma's, when I ran into some mice
They looked a little hungry and they looked a little sad
So I gave them all the cookies that I had inside my bag
I promised grandma cookies, and went home to bake some more
But on my way to grandma's house I ran into a bore
She asked me where I was going and if she could come along
Then I looked down at my cookies and realized that they were gone
I promised grandma cookies and went home again to bake
But when I got back to my house, there were no more left to make
I promised grandma cookies and didn't know what else to do
So I made some chocolate brownies with nuts and cashews too
I was on my way to grandmas when I ran into a goat
He asked me what the yummy smell was that was coming from my coat
I didn't want to tell him, but I didn't want to lie
Then he asked me with the saddest face if he could have a bite
I reached down in my pocket and pinched him off a piece
And went on my way to grandma's, but it was getting hard to see
I was on my way to grandma's and realized I'd lost my way
I was getting tired and hungry, I hadn't eaten all day
She must have gotten worried and come out to look for me
she said that she had found me, beneath an old oak tree
She took me to her house and tucked me into bed
gentely held my hand and kissed my little head
when I told her what had happend, she began to cry
Then she told me that she loved me and sang me a lullaby
