Waking Up Granny

Here's another story about my granny And, of course, it's always true What kind of question is that? Do you think I'd lie to you? You see, my granny had this problem That our family tried to keep hidden She was a compulsive sleep walker What do you mean?, no, I'm not kiddin' Well, the first time it ever happened I was sick with the chicken pox I woke up early, when I found my granny Standing at the neighbor's mailbox They say, "Don't ever wake a sleep walker" But you know me, I tried it I brought her in and sit her down And when I woke her, she denied it Now, she was as mad as a hornet She said, "What was I doing outside?" Well, there was only one thing to do Yep, you guessed it, "I lied" I made up some cockamamie story About a cat that was stuck in a tree And how that she was some kinda hero For helping that cat get free Well, I think my granny bought it The whole hook, line and sinker What?... don't look at me like that I had to be a really fast thinker She said, "Okay get back to bed" While I go and check on the cat Don't judge me now, I lied again I said, "I really don't know where I'm at" Well, she thought I was delerious After all, I was mighty sick Okay, I know, enough already I guess, it was a dirty trick Anyway, that's my story And there's plenty more stories to tell Next time, I'll tell you the one About my granny waking up in jail
