You Dancin ?

When granny passed over last Wednesday 
It was something we never foresaw
She seemed to be so fit and healthy
But then came the knock on the door

The policeman was standing there solemn
He wasn’t sure what he should say
Then all of a sudden he blurted
“it’s granny, she’s just past away”

She’d been to the pensioners social
She was dancing and knocking back gin
You know, the old girl gave a bit of a twirl
When her heart it just stopped it gave in 

So if you should ever reach ninety
And you’re having a night on the piss
If they say take a chance, get up have a dance
Just tell them you’ll give it a miss
