For Lindy’s Birthday!
“GRANDMOTHER” by Emma, Megumu and Adam Brownstein

When you go to Torah Study with Rabbi Janet and Neill,
It’s time to count your blessings and how wonderful you feel,
With Footprint, family and all that jazz,
And when your family needs you,
There is nothing that you won’t do,
You feel so lucky to have all that you have
But until now you’ve missed out,
On something your friends know all about
Don’t worry, that’s all about to be
Different you see,
Be-cause you’re going to be . . .
A GRANDMOTHER!
You’re gonna be a GRANDMOTHER!
Kvelling nachus, ooh!
“I’ll take one, no, TWO!”
Little girls to hold and sooth. . .
You spoil them with stuff,
(Adam) it took long enough!
But now you don’t need to be blue
Cuz’ you’re a GRANDMOTHER!
Yes, you’re a GRANDMOTHER!
You’ll lead family trips,
Teach them piano tricks,
Neill, upload the pho-tooooOOs!
So let's start,
‘Cuz we’ve got a lot of people to show!
Cuz’ you’re a GRANDMOTHER!
Yes, you’re a GRANDMOTHER!
You’ll lead family trips,
Teach them piano tricks,
Neill, upload the pho-tooooOOs!
So let's start,
‘Cuz we’ve got a lot of people to show!
Don’t be offended by the term “Granny”,
If you prefer, we can call you “Nanny”,
Now that we’ve supplied you with the next generation,
There's no hesitation,
To proclaim yourself . . .
GRANDMOTHER,
A full-fledged GRANDMOTHER
with an assist from Emma-ruu,
and her cousin too,
What fun, oh Boy!
with an assist from Emma-ruu,
and her cousin too,
What fun, oh Boy!
(you mean “girls!”)
Nothing’s gonna’ stop you from
being the hippest Nanny in the world!
la la, la la!
We’re gonna make you a grand-mo-ther
When you see you all your friends,
Nothing’s gonna’ stop you from
being the hippest Nanny in the world!
la la, la la!
We’re gonna make you a grand-mo-ther
When you see you all your friends,
Coddling their grandchildren,
You can inform them on your own
They have . . . to. . . wish . . . you
They have . . . to. . . wish . . . you
Mazel tov, congratulations!
They’ll feel your elation!
Time for birthday celebrations.
YOU CAN SAY IT AGAIN. . .
You are a GRANDMOTHER!
Bubbe!
Yes, you are a GRANDMOTHER!
You’ll take them to Broadway plays,
And on sunny days
. . . play with them at the beach!
Now that you’re a Nanny,
All of this is within reach!
And as time goes on,
And we sing this song,
It’s no secret you see,
You're gonna really love it,
Your new found NANNY-larity!
Yea!
La la, la la!
You’re a GRANDMOTHER,
What a cool family!
YOU CAN SAY IT AGAIN. . .
You are a GRANDMOTHER!
Bubbe!
Yes, you are a GRANDMOTHER!
You’ll take them to Broadway plays,
And on sunny days
. . . play with them at the beach!
Now that you’re a Nanny,
All of this is within reach!
And as time goes on,
And we sing this song,
It’s no secret you see,
You're gonna really love it,
Your new found NANNY-larity!
Yea!
La la, la la!
You’re a GRANDMOTHER,
What a cool family!
