My granny was sick as a parrot
She always liked that Steve Mcgarrett
Her favorite show
Hawaii 5-0
Was cancelled for football, Goddamnit
As Hawaii she couldn’t afford
Struck a pose on her ironing board
‘Jump up here with me
And surf this wild sea
And we’ll surf in the name of Jack Lord’
A committed silk bloomers wearer
She gave a free shot to her carer
He went very red
And that’s when he said
Your bloomers are still on the airer
