Grandpa Was a Carpenter(originale) |
Grandpa wore his suit to dinner |
Nearly every day |
No particular reason |
He just dressed that way |
Brown necktie and a matching vest |
And both his wingtip shoes |
He built a closet on our back porch |
And put a penny in a burned out fuse |
Grandpa was a carpenter |
He built houses stores and banks |
Chain smoked Camel cigarettes |
And hammered nails in planks |
He was level on the level |
And shaved even every door |
And voted for Eisenhower |
Cause Lincoln won the war |
Well, he used to sing me «Blood on the Saddle» |
And rock me on his knee |
And let me listen to radio |
Before we got TV |
Well, he’d drive to church on Sunday |
And take me with him too |
Stained glass in every window |
Hearing aids in every pew |
Grandpa was a carpenter |
He built houses stores and banks |
Chain smoked Camel cigarettes |
And hammered nails in planks |
He was level on the level |
And shaved even every door |
And voted for Eisenhower |
Cause Lincoln won the war |
Now my grandma was a teacher |
Went to school in Bowling Green |
Traded in a milking cow |
For a Singer sewing machine |
She called her husband «Mister» |
And walked real tall in pride |
She used to buy me comic books |
After grandpa died |
Grandpa was a carpenter |
He built houses stores and banks |
Chain smoked Camel cigarettes |
And hammered nails in planks |
He was level on the level |
And shaved even every door |
And voted for Eisenhower |
Cause Lincoln won the war |
(traduzione) |
Il nonno ha indossato il suo abito a cena |
Quasi tutti i giorni |
Nessun motivo particolare |
Si è semplicemente vestito in quel modo |
Cravatta marrone e gilet abbinato |
Ed entrambe le sue scarpe con la punta delle ali |
Ha costruito un armadio sulla nostra veranda sul retro |
E metti un centesimo in una miccia bruciata |
Il nonno era un falegname |
Ha costruito case, negozi e banche |
Sigarette Camel fumate a catena |
E chiodi martellati nelle tavole |
Era al livello del livello |
E ha rasato anche ogni porta |
E ha votato per Eisenhower |
Perché Lincoln ha vinto la guerra |
Ebbene, mi cantava «Blood on the Saddle» |
E cullami sul ginocchio |
E fammi ascoltare la radio |
Prima di avere la TV |
Bene, sarebbe andato in chiesa la domenica |
E portami anche con lui |
Vetrate in ogni finestra |
Apparecchi acustici in ogni banco |
Il nonno era un falegname |
Ha costruito case, negozi e banche |
Sigarette Camel fumate a catena |
E chiodi martellati nelle tavole |
Era al livello del livello |
E ha rasato anche ogni porta |
E ha votato per Eisenhower |
Perché Lincoln ha vinto la guerra |
Ora mia nonna era un insegnante |
Sono andato a scuola a Bowling Green |
Scambiato con una vacca da latte |
Per una macchina da cucire Singer |
Chiamava suo marito «Mister» |
E camminava davvero alto con orgoglio |
Mi comprava fumetti |
Dopo la morte del nonno |
Il nonno era un falegname |
Ha costruito case, negozi e banche |
Sigarette Camel fumate a catena |
E chiodi martellati nelle tavole |
Era al livello del livello |
E ha rasato anche ogni porta |
E ha votato per Eisenhower |
Perché Lincoln ha vinto la guerra |
