lyrics

Back when I was four, five or six
Mom and pop told me grandma couldn't take care of herself anymore
and they had to move her into a special kind of hotel.
I went to visit her everyday.

Look out! Look out!
There's my Granny Jones
Livin' hot hot at the hotel
Sleepin' for weeks, stealing shampoo and sheets
When's she gonna check out?

Watch out! Watch out!
Don't bump into the old folks
Moving slow slow at the Hotel
You got a TV, AC
Maple whiskey in an IV
They're sicky, but whoo!
They got got got it all

Yes
I saw Granny at the hotel
Yes
She said she'd love me forever
She tips me five bucks, yes
Then wishes me luck, yes
And asks me if I know her

Look out! Look out!
Where'd your mind go?
Never thought time
would break you so well
Dried up your head
and made you forget
and left you crying in a hotel

Watch out! Watch out!
Don't mess up your room now!
Not staying long here at the hotel
Just be a good guest
Keep the tubes in your wrists
We still love what's left of yourself

Yes
I saw Granny at the hotel
Yes
We checked out pulses together
Said I know who you are, yes
So don't be afraid
Even if you can't remember.
