[ Featuring Lois & Bram ]
When I was a little bitty girl just up off the floor,
We used to go down to grandma's house every other month or so.
We had chicken pie, country ham, and homemade butter on the bread.
But the best darn thing about grandma's house was the great big feather bed.
CHORUS:
It was nine feet high, six feet wide
Soft as a downy chick
It was made from the feathers of forty-eleven geese
Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick.
It'd hold eight kids, and four hound dogs
And a piggy we stole from the shed
We didn't get much sleep,
But we had a lot of fun on grandma's feather bed.
After supper, we'd sit around the fire the old folks spit and chew
Pa would talk about the farm and war and granny would sing a ballad or two,
I'd sit and listen and watch the fire 'till the cobwebs filled my head
Next thing I knew, I'd wake up in the morning in the middle of the old-folk bed.
CHORUS
Well, I love Ma, I love my Pa
I love Granny and grandpa too!
I've been fishin' with my uncle, and I ras'led with my cousin,
And I even kissed Aunt Lou! Ew!
But if I ever had to make a choice I guess it ought to be said
I'd trade 'em all and a pickup truck for grandma's feather bed!
CHORUS
We didn't get much sleep But we had a lot of fun
On Grandma's Feather Bed!
