A7
She knows her mind alright your Auntie Grizelda
She says she knows my kind, she might, maybe so
D7
Oh yeah, she's raised you right, your Auntie Grizelda
A7
You only know the things she wants you to know.
E7
You look just like her, you do
D7
I know by looking at you
A7
That you've been listening to your Auntie Grizelda
A7
You can't begrudge her style your Auntie Grizelda
She couldn't budge a smile and do it for free
D7
So righteous making fudge, your Auntie Grizelda
A7
So proper judging others over her tea.
E7
I know she's having a fit
D7
She doesn't like me a bit
A7
No bird of grace ever lit on Auntie Grizelda
A7
Oh no, don't look at me like Auntie Grizelda
It take much more to be someone of your own
D7
You've got to make it free from Auntie Grizelda
A7
Or just like her, you'll have to make it alone.
