Ralph McTell - Granny Takes a Trip Lyrics

Oh she lives all alone
In a house by a school
She wears fur coats and hats
And old fashioned jewels
And her one aim in life
Is to be on the screen
Top billing for granny
Is her favourite dream

So once a year granny takes a trip
Always first class and she's well equipped
For the movie auditions in Hollywood town
She always turns up
But she's always turned down

So Granny, my dear we all wish you the best
And hope that you find your happiness
And one day on the screen
Granny's bound to be seen
If she turns up again
She's bound to find fame

So once a year granny takes a trip
Always first class and she's well equipped
For the movie auditions in Hollywood town
She always turns up
But she's always turned down
