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.
