Grandpa Phone Home
Such a normal day at suburb life
Me and my wife
Eggs and tea for breakfast
Grab the clothing from the closet door
Bow tie and jumpsuit
Waking up the neighbours with a bang
Little Winston scares me with his fangs
Out of my way, tell me what you have done
Grandpa is gone
He went for a ride across the universe
He thought that he’d become Buzz Aldrin
Now he is gone, what will we do?
He’s joined the Cosmic Zoo
The doorbell rang and I ran down the stairs
To see who’s there
My, who might that be?
I open up and saw this ugly face
A man from space?
He gave me this postcard
I’m not coming home, it’s all the same
I don’t regret a thing, I feel no shame
You should’ve seen me dancing waltz with a E.T
Come visit me
He went for a ride across the universe
He thought that he’d become Buzz Aldrin
Now he is gone, what will we do?
He’s joined the Comic Zoo
Then one day something grew up in my backyard
A rocket built by my own son
He said that I don’t wanna be here anymore
Down here on earth I’ll find no fun
Where can you be?
Are you alone?
Can’t you call me on the phone and in my dreams?
I would moan
Grandpa, please come home
Please come home to me
(solo)
He went for a ride across the universe
He thought that he’d become Neil Armstrong
Now he is gone, what will we do?
He’s joined the Cosmic Zoo
