truck for a new car you'd have my

respect

get her a fabulous present something

really breathtaking and spare no expense

and while you're out get her a little

something from me too

a little something yeah and a beautiful

car to go with it you know something

with roses and lace and sentimental

poetry like um though your hair is very

gray may you have a merry day hey that's

pretty good never mind the car just type

that up and I'll sign it right cheap

that's cheap as in Indian that's cheap

as in skate

I guess I am being a bit too Frugal but

if I could only think of something that

Granny would really want I can show you

just the thing

a few days ago granny and I were looking

through this catalog and we came across

a picture of a hickory rocking chair

Handmade by Craftsman in the Ozarks oh

here it is she absolutely fell in love

with it she must have looked at this

page for half an hour yes I can see her

granny would really like this

okay yeah

have this framed and give it to her from

me

[Music]

well there she is Uncle Jed hope you're

happy I'm happier than I was where's

your girl he was like a Hollywood

Superstar is going to be seen driving

around an old wreck like this I might

even have to give up my own career as a

world famous Hollywood producer come on

Uncle Jim let's give Granny that little

old yellow custom-built job for her

birthday she'll love it Randy loves this

old truck she loves these old shoes of

hers oh folks like old thing

oh

see she's falling apart and then you put

her back together again

okay

come on Duke

let's go out and warm our old tired

bones in the Sun

it's cold winter nights it's kind of

hard on a senior citizen

still say granny love that little yellow

bone well I think I know what's best for

granny but if you just let me take her

for a ride I don't want to hear no more

about it you mean he's going to keep

that old broken down wreck around here

forever I don't save forever

as long as she's still working well

these cool mornings it takes forever to

get her started maybe but once she gets

warmed up she's going pretty good she's

eyesore she's a disgrace to the family

come on could you let me just push her

off a cliff collect the insurance

he's gonna do me in from a 50 double

indemnity

what kind of birthday surprise would

that be for granny it'd be a great

surprise if you let me give her that

little yellow b*mb now he wants to blow

me up

let's forget about the insurance it

don't amount to nothing know how first a

stripper of everything we can sell

me so that's why Jen took my shoes then

I'll throw what's left on the city dump

now I ain't even gonna get a decent

burial

I realize she's old and starting to fall

apart yeah that's the truth one good

kick could finish it

push her off a cliff

hills and give her to some poor kids to

Made for a hog hey jail Miss James what

you got there well it's a little

birthday present for granny and just the

way she wants it all dressed Rachel I
