grandpa voted democrat - ray stevens lyrics
[verse 1]
grandpa was an eagle scout
a 33rd degree mason
and he fought in the second world war
was a deacon down
at the baptist church
since 1964
he bought clothes for the homeless
toys for the orphans
on top of givin’ his tithe
voted religiously
straight gop
never missed an election in his life
[pre*chorus]
so, it took us by surprise
when we heard on the news last night
[chorus]
grandpa voted democrat
and our family ain’t proud of that
yeah, we thought it was a joke
when the big news broke
but they sure enough counted his vote
now we’re wonderin’ how he cast it
from inside his casket
it sure seems funny to me
how they got his absentee
grandpa voted democrat
now he’ll never rest in peace
[verse 2]
from the way it sounds
they had a good turnout
down at the mount olive graveyard
over 90 percent
of the residents
crossed over with their voter cards
it’s all over the news
and now they’re arguin’ who’s
caught up in the voter fraud
and how a good man’s name
could be smeared this way
while he’s six feet under the sod
it sure took us by surprise
he’s been dead since ’95
[chorus]
grandpa voted democrat
and our family ain’t proud of that
yeah, we thought it was a joke
when the big news broke
but they sure enough counted his vote
now we’re wonderin’ how he cast it
from inside his casket
it sure seems funny to me
how they got his absentee
grandpa voted democrat
now he’ll never rest in peace
[outro]
this is one november
i don’t wanna remember
grandpa voted democrat
and now he’ll never rest in peace
