Grandma's Feather Bed Lyrics - Sesame Street

When I was a little bitty boy 

Just up off a floor 

We used to go down to Grandma's house 

Ev'ry month end or so, 

We'd heva chicken pie and country ham 

'N' home made butter on the bread 

But the best darn thing about Grandma's house 

Was her great big feather bed 

It was nine feet tall and six feet wide 

Soft as a downy chick 

It was made from the feathers of forty 'leven geese 

Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick 

It'd hold eight kids 'n' four hound dogs 

And a piggy we stole from the shed 

We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun 

On Grandma's feather bed 

After supper we'd sit around the fire 

The old folks'd spit and chew 

Pa would talk about the farm and the war 

And Granny'd sing a ballad or two 

I'd sit and listen and watch the fire 

'Till the cobwebs filled my head 

Next thing I'd know I'd wake up in the mornin' 

In the middle of the old feather bed 

It was nine feet tall and six feet wide 

Soft as a downy chick 

It was made from the feathers of forty 'leven geese 

Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick 

It'd hold eight kids 'n' four hound dogs 

And a piggy we stole from the shed 

We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun 

On Grandma's feather bed 

Well I love my Ma, I love my Pa 

I love Granny and Grandpa too 

I been fishin' with my uncle 

I wrassled with my cousin 

I even kissed Aunt Lou ooo! 

But if I ever had to make a choice 

I guess it oughta be said 

That I'd trade 'em all plus the gal down the road 

For Grandma's feather bed 

I'd trade 'em all plus the gal down the road ... 

It was nine feet tall and six feet wide 

Soft as a downy chick 

It was made from the feathers of forty 'leven geese 

Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick 

It'd hold eight kids 'n' four hound dogs 

And a piggy we stole from the shed 

We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun 

On Grandma's feather bed 

We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun 

On Grandma's feather bed
