Notes:Each verse adds a new use or mishap for the whiskers. The chorus is the payoff - deliver it with maximum mock-sympathy. Great for building with crowd participation.

GI have a dear old grandpa

For Cwhom I nightly Gpray

He has a set of D7whiskers

They're Galways in the way


GThey're always in the Cway

The Gcows eat them for D7hay

They Ghide the dirt on Cgrandpa's shirt

They're Galways in the D7way G


GHe ate a bowl of soup once

The Cwhiskers got so Gwet

He D7squeezed them out in glasses

And Gwe're still drinking yet


GThey're always in the Cway

The Gcows eat them for D7hay

They Ghide the dirt on Cgrandpa's shirt

They're Galways in the D7way G


GIn winter they're like snowflakes

In Csummer they turn Ggreen

In D7autumn when the leaves fall

His Gwhiskers can't be seen


GThey're always in the Cway

The Gcows eat them for D7hay

They Ghide the dirt on Cgrandpa's shirt

They're Galways in the D7way G


GThe dog sleeps in the whiskers

The Ccat does too, they Gsay

The D7birds build nests in grandpa's chest

They're Galways in the way


GThey're always in the Cway

The Gcows eat them for D7hay

They Ghide the dirt on Cgrandpa's shirt

They're Galways in the D7way G
