Ode to Grandma Bea

Scott's Grandma Bea just celebrated her 80th birthday. She is just a wonderful, fun lady and I am so glad I can call her grandma, too! She loves songs and she always makes up songs for people on special days (weddings, etc), so we decided to write her a song. We just put words to the song "Thank you very much" from the musical Scrooge. The song references some of the great things she has done for all the grandkids. Here are the words (by the way, if you haven't seen "Scrooge", you really ought to. It is lots of fun):

"Ladies and gentlemen On behalf of all the people who have assembled here I would merely like to mention if I may That our unanimous attitude Is one of lasting gratitude For what Grandma Bea has done for us today And therefore I would simply like to say

Thank you very much! Thank you very much!
We wrote this song to say we love you Grandma Bea

All the presents that you give,
The happy way you live
You’ve made our lives as fun as they could ever be.
And since you gave a bugle
We’ll have to blow it
To show you that we love you very much
But since that’s really not enough

We'll simply have to say

Thank you very, very, very much!

Thank you very, very, very much!

Thank you very much! Thank you very much!

For all the slumber parties and the shoe fairy
It really was bizarre,
Riding in the trunk of your car
But we have lived to cherish all those memories
And since you gave a drum
We’ll have to bang it
To show you that we love you very much

But since that’s really not enough

We'll simply have to say

Thank you very, very, very much!"
