Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Handsome Harold’s Grandma lived alone
Not a single kindness was she shown
Then there came a day Harold came to stay
Now try and keep girls away
Chorus
Grandma’s Boy is in town
And flappers are flapping around
They’re vamping and camping right on his trail
He’s dizzy and Busy answering mail
Grandma’s wearing a frown
She may lose her pride and her joy
A million strong how the girlies long
To marry Grandma’s Boy
- Grandma’s riding ’round in Limousines
Being entertained by Harold’s Queens
Ev’ry day a score hang ’round Grandma’s door
Some want to sweep up the floor
Sung here by Fred Feild:
