Print Version

Grandpa said to cousin Jed

Sitting on the porch,

"I won't retire

But I might retread."

Seem like that guy singin' this song

Been doing it for a long time

Is there anything he knows

That he ain't said?

Sing a song for freedom

Sing a song for love

Sing a song for depressed angels

Falling from above.

Grandpa held the paper

Pretending he could see

But he couldn't read

Without his glasses on

"How can all those people

Afford so many things?

When I was young we wore

What we had on."

Mamma said, "A little love and affection

In everything you do

Will make the world a better place

With or without you.

"A little love and affection

In everything you do

A better place

With or without you."

Slamming down some late night shots

The artist and the hero compare

Those envisions and afterthoughts

For the twenty first century.

But mostly came up with nothing

So the truth was never learned

And the human race just

Kept rollin' on.

Rollin' through the fighting

Rollin' through the religious wars

Rollin' down the temple walls

And the churches' exposed sores.

Rollin' through the fighting

Through religious wars

Mostly came up with nothing...

"Grandpa, here's your glasses;

You'll see much better now,"

Said that young girl

Of Edith and Earl's.

But Grandpa just kept starin'

He was lost in some distant thought

Then he turned and he said

To that young girl,

"A little love and affection

In everything you do

Will make the world a better place

With or without you.

"A little love and affection

In everything you do

A better place

With or without you."

Hear the rooster crowin'

Down on the Double E

It's a new morning

Breaking on the green.

Bouncing off the Towers,

The sun's heading for the street

The business meeting

Window shades are drawn.

Another morning edition

Is headed for the porch

Because Grandma puts down the paper

Before Grandpa raises his fork.

A little love and affection

In every thing you do

A better place

With or without you.
