O Pity Me

O pity me, O pity me
The way that grandad dances
It’s certainly, a sight to see
The way that grandad dances

He said to me on Christmas Eve
I’m going out romancing 
Now what I see, I can’t believe
My grandad dirty dancing

How can it be at eighty-three
He’s out there taking chances 
With every pretty girl he sees
By making lewd advances

If that was me, they’d batter me
They’d knee me in my conkers
But he gets far more girls than me
It’s sending me quite bonkers

Dance floors can be no place for me
In spite of furtive glances
Girls beckon me: Can’t let them see
I dance like grandad dances

Happy new year to you too, Tom. This was one of a couple of O Christmas Tree parodies I’ve done this year... but the only one I’ve posted.
