Dust Off the Dulcimer (One More Time)

Butterscotch in a candy bowl
Sticky peppermint and a Tootsie Roll
Doily protects the table there
Plastic covers on all his chairs

Grandpa dust off the dulcimer one more time, one more time
Grandpa dust off the dulcimer one more time
You can’t keep it to yourself, can’t keep it on that shelf
Got to dust off the dulcimer one more time

Wilford Brimley on a TV there
He sold grandpa a scooter chair
Refrigerator full of ol’ Schlitz beer
Grandpa used to be an auctioneer

Grandpa dust off the dulcimer one more time, one more time
Grandpa dust off the dulcimer one more time
You can’t keep it on a shelf, you can’t keep it to yourself
Got to dust off the dulcimer one more time

Guess I didn’t inherit that old man’s hands
I can’t play an instrument worth a damn
Now the house is dark at eight PM
He’s taking off his slippers getting all tucked in

Grandpa dust off the dulcimer one more time, one more time
Grandpa dust off the dulcimer one more time
You can’t keep it on a shelf, you can’t keep it to yourself
Got to dust off the dulcimer one more time

Driving in I passed the fishing hole
Grandpa’s gone but I saw his pole
His jumpsuit’s on a hanger there
Thought I heard a dulcimer ringing in the air

Grandpa dust off the dulcimer one more time, one more time
Grandpa dust off the dulcimer one more time
You can’t keep it on a shelf, you can’t keep it to yourself
Got to dust off the dulcimer one more time

You can’t keep it on a shelf, don’t keep it to yourself
Grandpa dust off the dulcimer one more time
