Never Too Old

Never too old 

Who builds the castles
When we go sea-siding 
Picks up the sticks
And plays horse riding
Baas to the sheep
To the cow’s moo, moo
Not the kids
It’s what granddads do

Who sucks the ice-cream
From the bottom of the cone
Laughs out loud
At the garden gnome
Gets excited 
At the big choo, choo
Not the kids
It’s what granddads do

Who likes the puddles
And getting wet
Fidgets in the car
Says we there yet
Sees a fire engine
And shouts woo, woo
Not the kids
It’s what granddads do
