Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Look at Grandma doing her thing
Look at Grandma with that diamond ring
Look at Grandma, Grandma's out of sight
Look at Grandma, she's doin' it every night
[Verse 2]
Look at Grandma wearin' her hotpants
Look at Grandma trying to give the young boys a chance
Look at Grandma, she's really out of sight
Look at Grandma trying to make everything alright
[Verse 3]
Grandma, Grandma, what you trying to do?
Grandma, Grandma, everybody's watching you
[Verse 4]
She parked a Rolls Royce and jumped a minibike
It wasn't too long before Granny was almost out of sight
She went to the place where the teenagers hang out
She did the funky chicken and took the whole thing out
[Verse 5]
Grandma, Grandma, what you trying to do?
Grandma, Grandma, everybody's watching you
(Oh yeah)
[Verse 6]
Look at Grandma, what you trying to do?
Grandma, Grandma, everybody's watching you
[Verse 7]
Look at Grandma doing her thing
Look at Grandma with that diamond ring
Look at Grandma, Grandma's out of sight
Look at Grandma, she's doin' it every night
[Verse 8]
Grandma, Grandma, what you trying to do?
Grandma, Grandma, you know everybody's watching you
Look at Grandma, don't play her cheap
What she's doin', is she do it one day a week
[Verse 9]
Grandma, Grandma, what you trying to do?
Grandma, Grandma, everybody's watching you
[Verse 10]
Grandma, Grandma, what you trying to do?
(Do it, baby, go ahead, baby)
Grandma, Grandma, everybody's watching you
(Grandma say)
[Verse 11]
Look at Grandma doing her thing
Look at Grandma with that diamond ring
Look at Grandma, Grandma's out of sight
(Do it, Granny!)
Look at Grandma, she's doin' it every night
(Hang in there, baby, you lookin' good)
[Verse 12]
Grandma, Grandma, what you trying to do?
Grandma, Grandma, everybody's watching you
(Ow! Look at Granny!)
[Verse 13]
Grandma, Grandma, what you trying to do?
(In a miniskirt!)
Grandma, Grandma, everybody's watching you
[Verse 14]
Look at Grandma doing her thing
(Go ahead, Granny)
Look at Grandma with that diamond ring
(Do it, baby)
Look at Grandma, Grandma's out of sight
(Throw them crutches away, honey)
Look at Grandma, she's doin' it every night
[Verse 15]
Look at Grandma doing her thing
(Oh! Look at her!)
Look at Grandma with that diamond ring
