Granny was a flapper
Way back in ‘22
I'd like to dance the
"Charleston"
The way she use to do.
When Granny was a flapper
Her clothes was really
neat
She wore fringe on her
dresses
Fancy shoes on her feet.
Each one of her boy
friends
Thought she was really
cute
They dressed up to high
heaven
In a knock dead "zoot
suit."
And when she started
dancing
Everybody soon would stop
As she did her little
"Charleston"
Up on the tabletop.
Those days movies were
silent
Background music filled
the gap
When Granny was a flapper
I would like to have seen
that.
Today the music's very
strange
Weird things done to their
hair
Granny dreams about the "Charleston"
Sitting in her rocking chair!
When Granny was a flapper
Way back in ‘22
I wish I could have seen
her then
How about it, wouldn't
you?
