When Granny Wore Her Crinoline

When Granny Wore Her Crinoline

(Roy King / Freddy Grant / Paul Paree)

Felix Mendelssohn and his Orchestra


When Granny Wore Her Crinoline
When she was only seventeen
Just fifty years are in-between
Since Granny Wore Her Crinoline

The ballroom belles? that lived in town
Just fell for granny night or dawn
They all supposed that she'd turn them down
When Granny Wore Her Crinoline

But there was one true sweetheart
Who meant to persevere
Till she became his sweetheart
For she knew that his heart was so sincere

If you would ask her, she'd confess
How she found love and happiness
That summer day when she said, Yes!
When Granny Wore Her Crinoline
