Grampa Waits For Me

Some of the grandkids were over for the weekend.

This is what Connie Francis would be singing in this situation . . .
(To the tune of "Where the Boys Are')

Where the toys are, grandpa waits for me!
A smilin' face, a warm embrace, two arms to hold me tenderly.
Where the toys are, Grandpa’s love will be!
He's sittin’ in his re-clin-er and I know he's waitin' there for me.

In the world of billions of people I think he looks just fine.
Then I'll eat his treats and play his games and tell the world he's mine.

Till we get there I wait impatiently.
Where the toys are, where the toys are,
Where the toys are, Grandpa waits for me.

Till we get there, I wait impatiently.
Where the toys are, where the toys are,
Where the toys are, Grandpa waits for me!

  1. Grandpa's just a big kid at heart.

  2. I'm learning that in my own home as well even though they are too young for toys yet. Saturday nights we have a standing date with both babies.

  5. Sweet! I think this was a clever post on being a Grandpa. Grand parenting is so fun. The original song: "Where The Boys Are" brought back some memories.
    Blessings!

  6. That's really sweet. I'll have 'where the toys are' in my head for a while now I think. Grampas and kids are a wonderful combination.
