I Think I Killed Grandma

I'm just an innocent kid,
who always got straight A's.
I didn't mean it, what I did.
I'll go to jail one day.

I think I killed Grandma.

We went riding on a sleigh,
made a gingerbread city,
and danced the Nutcracker ballet.
What a dreadful pity -

I think I killed Grandma.

They'll know my identity;
with one day to play it cool,
I'll finish my gingerbread,
then turn myself in at school.

I think I killed Grandma.

Oh, I'm in trouble, deep.
Wait, she's up!  Hurray!
She wasn't dead, just asleep.
Hey, Grandma, let's play!

Oops, I think I killed Grandma.
