Chorus:
Grandpa's riding lawn mower, its fun to ride around.
Grandpa's riding lawn mower makes some funny sounds.
Putt! Putt! Putt! Bang! Bang!
Everybody knows grandpa's riding lawn mower.
Watch out here we go.
1. Grandpa let's me ride with him
When he mows the lawn.
I get to drive. It's a bumpy ride as we roll along.
Turn to the left. Turn to the right.
Back and forth we go.
There's no doubt we better watch out
For all those groundhog holes. Chorus:
2. All the laundry, washed and clean, hanging on the line.
As we're moving underneath, I duck my head in time.
Grandpa doesn't see the clothes strung from post to post.
Sheets get wrapped around his head.
Now grandpa is a ghost! (Make ghost sounds) Chorus:
3. This big lawn is almost done.
There's a little bit left to do. Grandpa's looking tired.
I'm glad we're almost through.
Suddenly the engine coughs;
Then begins to choke.
It slowly grinds to a halt.
I think the engine's broke.
Chorus:
Grandpa's riding lawn mower isn't running now.
Grandpa's riding lawn mower doesn't make a sound.
Not a putt, putt, putt or a bang, bang.
Everybody knows grandpa's riding lawn mower
Now it just won't go.
Bridge:
It seems like hours later. Parts lie all around.
We watch Grandpa shake his head while staring at the ground.
Socket wrenches, nuts and bolts.
Does grandpa really know how to put it back together?
How to make it go?
"Grandpa, do you think it's going to start?"
Putt! Putt! Putt! Putt! Putt! Putt!
Putt! Putt! Putt! Putt! Putt! Putt! Putt! Putt!
Last Chorus:
Grandpa's riding lawn mower riding all around.
Grandpa's riding lawn mower makes some funny sounds.
Putt! Putt! Putt! Bang! Bang!
Everybody knows grandpa's riding lawn mower.
Watch out! Here we go!
