Not the most high brow of songs, but I'm after the lyrics to a song which is probably called "Grandad's Glass Eye". It begins "Last week we buried me Grandad, We had to because he was dead" and carries on for about three verses in much the same vein, with a chorus of "Grandad, Grandad, we don't want your glass eye (glass eye), Grandad, Grandad, we'd like to wave your eye bye bye". Hoping that someone out there can help - an internet search has proved fruitless. Thanks, James

Is the tune, perchance, "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean"? Just a guess...

Certainly is! Kind of intuitive isn't it? Are you able to help, A.C.?

Sorry, no I can't.
