Early Bird (feat. Ken Neely & Brian Kiely)

Sometimes you gotta pay respect to the women that give you life
And other times, you gotta pay respect to the women that give those women life
So quit your knitting and get to listening
Yo Ken Neely, show 'em how it's done

From the Great Depression to World War II
There was never anybody quite as special as you
Call up Edward R. Murrow, I got news to run tomorrow, baby
Everybody spread the word, you'll always be my early bird
From Grover Cleveland to JFK
With you around nana, life's a cabaret, well
Hey there, Mr. Cronkite, I got your story tonight
Everybody have you heard, you'll always be my early bird

So amazing, when you arrive, I gotta grovel
You're so thrilling, Grandma, like a Sue Grafton novel
She say L is for Lawless, I say L is for Love
But I can't help it nana, you were sent from above
Breakfast at 7, lunch at 11, and dinner at 3
You know that you're my favorite branch on our family tree
Your beauty brings me to my knees, now I'm F.D.R
And I'm looking for my Eleanor
Tuning up the Model T, I'll take you to a talkie
Do some scrapbooking, do some puzzles as a hobby
Checking out your threads, cuz I love that polyester
Mall-walking tracksuit, you look like Sue Sylvester
In a good way, cuz we can
Gab and reminisce about the old days
Cuz like propecia, girl I need ya, and I'll feed ya, and I'll read to ya
Cuz you're my Debbie Reynolds, girl, I'm singing in the rain!

From the Civil War to the Constitution
For you, there will never be a substitution
Call up all the local papers, go and wake up all your neighbors now
Everybody spread the word, you'll always be my early bird
From Buddy Holly to Lil' Wayne
If I ever lost you, I would go insane so
Let us all celebrate, there's no time to hesitate
Everybody have you heard, you'll always be my early bird

It's time to break it down, I got a new confession
Cuz if I lost you Grandma, it'd be my Great Depression
I'll pay for swimming lessons over at the country club
I'll be there to help you when you've fallen and you can't get up
I start to laugh when I get thinking 'bout all our adventures
Like when we ate at Olive Garden, you forgot your dentures
You ask if we can watch some MASH? Well it depends
Cuz I got things to do like get your meds and your Depends
You offer me a ride, I'll have to pass
While you be driving, I'll be walking, get there twice as fast
Cuz while I love when you go 30 in that 50 zone
I think you'll be having fun driving out all on your own
What was it like watching Lincoln free the slaves?
What was it like when they started radio waves?
You've seen it all, seen a good chunk of history
Why are you so perfect Grandma? That remains a mystery

From the Great Depression to World War II
There was never anybody quite as special as you
Call up Edward R. Murrow, I got news to run tomorrow, baby
Everybody spread the word, you'll always be my early bird
From Grover Cleveland to JFK
With you around nana, life's a cabaret, well
Hey there, Mr. Cronkite, I got your story tonight
Everybody have you heard, you'll always be my early bird

Now I know what the G in G-ma stands for
Betty White ain't got nothing on you... damn
