Lyrics
They’re removing Granpa’s grave to build a sewer,
They’re removing it regardless of expense,
They’re shifting his remains to lay down sewage drains
To satisfy the local residents!

CHORUS
Oh! Mate! Don’t excavate!
Don’t desecrate poor Granpa’s dugout!
Oh! Fred! Although he’s dead,
He needs a place to rest his head.

Now what’s the use of having a religion
If when you die your troubles never cease?
‘Cause some society “gink” wants a pipeline for her sink.
They won’t let dear old Granpa rest in peace!

Now Granpa in his life was not a quitter!
And even in his grave he’ll never quit!
He’ll dress up in his sheets and he’ll haunt their country seats
And only let them out when he sees fit!

CHORUS

Now won’t there be some blinkin’ conternation?
And won’t them rotten stinkers curse and rave!
They’ll get what they deserve ‘cause they had the blinkin’ nerve
To muck about with poor old Granpa’s grave!

CHORUS
