GOD'S WAITING ROOM |
LyricsGOD'S WAITING ROOM(Robinson/Papageorge) VERSE 1 Grandma's move to the rest home made her cry Till she saw Tom in his rhinestone cowboy hat He said, "This is the last stop before Paradise 'Cos here's where the angels come to take you back" PRE-CHORUS She said, "Let's have some fun Got my red support socks on Let's you and me get down Till the break of dawn" CHORUS Clap your hands, wiggle your hips Clap, clap, clap Twist your waist, smack your lips Twist, twist, twist Rock your walker, make it dance Kick your heels, high step it, Gramps Living it up, cuttin' a rug In God's Waiting Room VERSE 2 The old folks formed a band, Grandma sang lead In her polka dot dress, toe bells, best show in town With drumbeats, guitar twangs, what a sight to see Wheelchairs whirlin', canes tappin', folks dancin' around PRE-CHORUS With her hearing aid and her teeth in You oughta hear Grandma sing She's got a way to make you smile And want to swing CHORUS Clap your hands, wiggle your hips Clap, clap, clap Twist your waist, smack your lips Twist, twist, twist Rock your walker, make it dance Kick your heels, high step it Gramps! Livin' it up, struttin' her stuff In God's Waiting Room BRIDGE Arthritis in every bone Can't see the numbers on the phone But she'll make you feel right at home CHORUS Clap your hands, wiggle your hips Clap, clap, clap Twist your waist, smack your lips Twist, twist, twist Rock your walker, make it dance Kick your heels, high step it Gramps! Livin' it up, can't get enough In God's Waiting Room RAPPING GRAMPS Spent all my years sowin' my wild oats And now I'm just an ugly old goat I felt no love till I saw you Well, I gotta say I like the view My aches and pains are a free for all I got arteries clogged with cholesterol With rickety knees and stumblin' feet I can't eat, can't sleep, always feel beat But you're as pretty as a princess in a fairytale Sweeter than the song of a nightingale Got my belly sucked in, gotta look handsome You got my heart beatin' like a big bass drum. Yeah, you look fit and I like your moves You got me jammin' to your groove I say, "Hey girl, lemme be your beau 'Cos I wanna be your Romeo I wanna be your Romeo Yeah, I wanna be your Romeo ©2020 Barbara Robinson/Pete Papageorge |
