Grandma is love to me
She taught the way things ought to be
She told us to hang in there and be patient
She said
There's no school like the old school
No rule like the golden rule
Grandma showed us what to do
And we did it well
She said, you see the time is passing by
When prayer is what we ought to try
You want to know the reasons why I say it
Grandma said
There's no school like the old school
No rule like the golden rule
Grandma showed us what to do
And we did it well
Grandma raised Mom real fine
And Mama passed it down the line
And now we're all here for her to see it
Now we think
There's no school like the old school
No rule like the golden rule
Grandma showed us what to do
And we did it well
We love you, Mama
There's no school like the old school
No rule like the golden rule
Grandma showed us what to do
And we did it well
Can't live without you
Just want to sing about you
Grandma showed us what to do
And we did it well (Love you, Grandma)
I'm sure there's no other
When it comes to you, Grandmother (I love you too)
Grandma showed us what to do
And we did it well
You did fine
Did fine
Did just fine
I'm so glad you're mine
Grandma showed us what to do
And we did it well (I taught you well)
(We love you, Grandma)
Teach us, Mama (I love you very much)
I love you, Mama
Grandma showed us what to do
And we did it well
I'm sure there's no other
When it comes to you, Grandmother
Grandma showed us what to do
And we did-
