Grandmother’s Death Lyrics by Marni Nixon, Audra McDonald, Nathan Gunn

Allegro (First Complete Recording)

2009

[GRANDMA]
Food and sleep, and plenty of soap
Molasses and sulfur, and love and hope
The winters go by
The summers fly
[GRANDMA, spoken]
And all of a sudden
All of a sudden
[DR. TAYLOR, spoken]
Ready, Marge?
[MARJORIE, spoken]
Yes, darling
Joey, stay in the house 'til we get back like a good boy
Ned Brinker's bringing little Jennie over to keep him company
[DR. TAYLOR, spoken]
That's good
These things are nothing for kids
Nothing for anybody
She was a good old lady, wasn't she?
[CHILDREN, spoken]
"These things are nothing for kids"
But it did happen to you
You're a kid
And yet, here you are
And suddenly, you have no Grandma
