LYRICS:
INTRO:
It's the Little Old Lady from Pasadena!
VERSE:
The Little Old Lady From Pasadena
(Go granny, go granny, go granny go)
Has a pretty little flower bed of white gardenias
(Go granny, go granny, go granny go)
But parked in her rickety old garage
There's a brand new shiny red Superstock Dodge
CHORUS:
And everybody's sayin' that there's nobody meaner ††
Than the Little Old Lady from Pasadena
(She drives real fast and she drives real hard)
She's the terror of Colorado Boulevard
It's The Little Old Lady From Pasadena!
VERSE:
If you see her on the street don't try to choose her
(Go granny, go granny, go granny go)
You might drive a goer but you'll never lose her
(Go granny, go granny, go granny go)
Well she's gonna get a ticket now sooner or later
'Cause she can't keep her foot off the accelerator!
CHORUS:
And everybody's sayin' that there's nobody meaner ††
Than the Little Old Lady from Pasadena
(She drives real fast and she drives real hard)
She's the terror of Colorado Boulevard
It's The Little Old Lady From Pasadena!
{ INSTRUMENTAL BREAK } ‡‡
VERSE:
The guys come to race her from miles around
But she'll give 'em a length, then she'll shut 'em down!
CHORUS:
And everybody's sayin' that there's nobody meaner ††
Than the Little Old Lady from Pasadena
(She drives real fast and she drives real hard)
She's the terror of Colorado Boulevard
Go Granny Go Granny, Go Granny, Go!
(Come on Granny, Go!)
Go Granny, Go Granny, Go Granny, Go!
(Come on Granny, Go!)
†† Pronounced like "meana," to rhyme with "Pasadena." Get it?
‡‡ ALTERNATE VERSE (studio outtake):
You can catch her all the time just gettin' her kicks, now
(Go granny, go granny, go granny go)
With her four-speed stick and a four-two-six, now
(Go granny, go granny, go granny go)
