"Never hit your grandma with a shovel. It leaves a bad impression on her mind." That's all I remember. Thanks, Bob S. |

How about: Don't never t'run stones on yer mudder It isn't the right thing to do-- Don't never trun stones on yer mudder She never trun them on you. Don't never trun stones on yer mudder Don't never trun stones on her head; Don't never trun stones on yer mudder Trun bricks on yer fadder instead!

Paul Newman sang those two lines to Katherine Ross as he pedalled and performed for her around the barn on his "newfangled bi-cycle" in the movie "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (circa 1969 maybe??) Paul Newman played Butch and Katherine Ross played Etta Place, Sundance's girlfriend. Robert Redford was The Sundance Kid. Still my favorite Western ever!! |

16 Apr 08 - 04:33 PM (#2317661) Subject: Lyr Add: NEVER HIT YOUR GRANDMA WITH A SHOVEL From: GUEST,P J Evans VERSE: A grandma and her grandchild sat by the kitchen door Of a quaint old-fashioned house built long ago. The little lass grew restless as on the evening wore, For she felt that time was fleeting very slow. 'I must do something!' cried the girl, and seized a nearby spade, But a passing stranger blocked her swing, whilst these wise words he said: CHORUS: 'Never hit your grandma with a shovel, For it makes a bad impression on her mind. In a better way impart All those love-things in your heart, For it's possible she may retort in kind. Remember Granny's known you since a baby, And even though in fun, 'twould prove a shock. So respect that aged head, Stay that shovel and instead - Paste your dear old, sweet old grandma with a rock!' (I learned it from my mother, and have the songbook it's in.) |

Don't never trun rocks on you mudder She never trew none at you. Don't never trun rocks on your mudder Don't never trun rocks on her head Don't never trun rocks on your mudder Trun bricks on your fadder instead. (with a strong Brooklyn accent. |
