The Little Old Lady (from Pasadena)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's the little old lady from Pasadena...
The little old lady from Pasadena
(Go granny, go granny, go granny, go!)
Has a pretty little flowerbed of white gardenias
(Go granny, go granny, go granny, go!)
But parked in a rickety old garage,
Is a brand-new, shiny red, super-stock Dodge!
And everybody's saying that there's nobody meaner,
Than the little old lady from Pasadena
She drives real fast and she drives real hard;
She's the terror of Colorado Boulevard
It's the little old lady from Pasadena...
If you see her on the street, don't try to "choose" her
(Go granny, go granny, go granny, go!)
You might try to "go" her, but you'll never lose her!
(Go granny, go granny, go granny, go!)
Well, she's gonna get a ticket now, sooner or later
'Cause she can't keep her foot off the accelerator!
And everybody's saying that there's nobody meaner,
Than the little old lady from Pasadena
She drives real fast and she drives real hard;
She's the terror of Colorado Boulevard
It's the little old lady from Pasadena...
Go granny, go granny, go granny, go!
Go granny, go granny, go granny, go!
The guys come to race her from miles around,
But she'll give 'em a length, then she'll shut 'em down
And everybody's saying that there's nobody meaner,
Than the little old lady from Pasadena
She drives real fast and she drives real hard;
She's the terror of Colorado Boulevard
It's the little old lady from Pasadena...
Go granny, go granny, go granny, go!
Go granny, go granny, go granny, go!
Go granny, go granny, go granny, go!
Go granny, go granny, go granny, go!
Go granny, go granny, go granny, go!
Go granny, go granny, go granny, go!
Go granny, go granny, go granny, go!
Go granny, go granny, go granny, go!
Go granny, go granny, go granny...(fade)

Notes: "Colorado Boulevard" is the main east-west horoughfare through the city of Pasadena; many of you have
undoubtedly watched the famous "Tournament of Roses Parade" proceed down this boulevard each New Year's Day morning.
