Lyrics
Don't Laugh ©2002 Doug Fergus
Grandma and grandpa can't remember who I am, each time I visit seems like the first
I sat politely for an hour and a half, gramps told a story 8 or 9 times
So this is what we can look forward to
Can you imagine what they're going through,
Don't laugh someday
Don't laugh someday
Don't laugh someday, you may be there too.
We took their car keys, "people keep hitting us!" They threw a fit and said "it's not our fault!"
The street signs are being changed almost every day, causing us to get lost in our neighborhood
So this is what we can look forward to
Can you imagine what they're going through,
Don't laugh someday
Don't laugh someday
Don't laugh someday, you may be there too.
They swear the helper is putting poison in their food, stealing their socks and underwear
Mom went to see them and tried to straighten everything
They screamed and kicked and pulled each other's hair
The caregiver quit and said you need to get these two, out of the house and into a home
So Mom found a place and cheerfully delivered them, they cried like kids on their first day of school
So this is what we can look forward to
Can you imagine what they're going through,
Don't laugh someday
Don't laugh someday
Don't laugh someday, you may be there too.
