SEE-SAW, GRANDPA (Pete Ham)
[commercial version from The Iveys' "Maybe Tomorrow" LP]

You wanna have fun, you wanna just run

You wanna do a lot of things that older people never do

Gotta give up, is that what they say?

Well, don't believe a word of it and do it my way


CHORUS:

Come on, come on my see-saw, Grandpa  (come on, come on, come on, come on)

And watch them grow older, when you were still young  (come on, come on, come on, come on)

Come on, come on my see-saw, Grandpa  (come on, come on, yeah, come on, yeah, come on, yeah)

We gotta be bolder, their song has been sung  (come on, yeah, come on, yeah)


You wanna just move, you wanna just groove

You wanna do a lot of things that older people never do

You gotta give up, is that what they say?

Well, don't believe a word of it and do it my way

(Baby, alright, wooo)


CHORUS:

Come on, come on my see-saw, Grandpa  (come on, come on, come on, come on)

And watch them grow older, when you were still young  (come on, come on, come on, yeah-yeah-yeah)

Come on, come on my see-saw, Grandpa  (come on, come on, come on, come on)

I said, we gotta be bolder, their song has been sung  (come on, come on, come on, come on)

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon (woooooowwwww!)


[guitar solo]


CHORUS:

Awwww (1, 2, 3, 4), come on, come on my see-saw, Grandpa  (come on, come on, come on, come on)

And watch them grow older, when you were still young  (come on, come on, come on, come on)

Come on, come on my see-saw, Grandpa  (come on, come see-saw, Grandpa, come on, come see-saw Grandpa)

I said you gotta be bolder, their song has been sung (come on, get on my see-saw, Grandpa)

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon (wooooh!, woah, woah, woah, yeah!)


CHORUS:

C'mon, come on my see-saw, Grandpa (come on, get on my see-saw, Grandpa)

And watch them grow older, when you were still young (come on, get on my see-saw, Grandpa, come on, get on my see-saw, Grandpa)

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Come on my see-saw, Grandpa (come on, get on my see-saw, Grandpa, come on)

And watch them grow older, when you were still young (get on my see-saw, Grandpa, come on, get on my see-saw, Grandpa)

Awwwww, come o-oooon (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)


Aw, come on (come on, get on my see-saw, Grandpa)

Aw, come on! (come on)

Aw, come on! (get on see-saw, Grandpa)

C'mon, yeah, see-saw, Grandpa, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon (come on, get on my see-saw, Grandpa, c'mon, oo-yeah)


On my see-saw, Grandpa (come on, get on my see-saw, Grandpa)

My see-saw, Grandpa (come on, get on my see-saw, Grandpa)

See-saw, Grandpa (come on, get on my see-saw, Grandpa)

(oh---------).
