There are some things that only grandma knows
Washing dishes in the kitchen sink
Torn and frayed paintings in the orange living room
She cooks us breakfast then she gives us a wink
And we walk outside where the freight train goes by
Christmas mornin’ and the neighborhood’s so alive
Playin’ (boogie woogie and gospel) piano
We have so much to holler about
Hey Grandma
It’s just another day
Feelin’ this way
Hey Grandma
It’s just another day
Just another day
Now she’s relaxin’ by the fire place
The world is waking and for church we’re gonna be late
If the late coffee by the back street apartment gate
Gets some pity from the city, well grandma tells them to wait
See the ice-cube-lemonade coolin’ close by
Hear the rush of taxicabs just outside
And I know it’s gonna be OK
OK, OK, OK
Hey Grandma
It’s just another day
Time gets in the way
Hey Grandma
It’s just another day
Just another day
The lights are flashin’ out on Bleeker Street
And I’ve got to meet the family and try to be discreet
Got to prepare my face for my grandma’s eyes
When she looks at me she sees herself and I cannot disguise
Oh, sayin’
Hey Grandma
It’s just another day
Just another day
Hey Grandma
It’s just another day
I don’t want it to go away
ALT:
(I bet Grandma was a wild one
Back in her day
But now she provides a sanctuary
Where I can go)
Just another day (another lovely day,
