Gold Run
My granny’s bucket list included visiting Japan
She didn’t think that if she went she’d meet a nice young man
She went in twenty-twenty-one when covid rules relaxed
A man said can you help us or our contest might be axed
Gran leant on her walking frame and said you’re very kind
My bones all ache, my gait is slow, I have a failing mind
If you want a politician then I think that you might find
That I’m your girl but all things else would leave me way behind
The man said everybody’s sick, we don’t know what to do
The cleaning staff all tried to help but they’re all ailing too
We need some folk to help put on the show as per the plan
So pardon the expression dear, but granny, you’re the man
So he took her and her walking frame and showed her where to stand
She made off like a thing possessed because a gun went bang
She dropped the shawl that she had worn in case she felt the cold
And that is how, I kid you not, my grandma brought home gold!
