lyrics

I want to be a high school teacher, cuz nothing else has suited me as well. I was afraid to be like my grandma, but now I know that my grandma's cool as hell. She was the first in our family to go to college. She was a national merit scholar. Her mother wanted her to be like Shirley Temple, but she taught history to kids aged 10-12.

MY GRANDMA IS COOL AS HELL!

It's hard to live in a place, where you feel you don't fit in, but I learned from her that you should stay, or one day you might regret leaving it.

Like me she didn't play well with other kids, she thought that she was just another country bumpkin. Owned no formal dresses to dine with her friends but had a date with a Nigerian prince (it's true). Danced in almost every program at Vassar, or at least as long as she was there. Partook in many plays and worked too! She would wash and put away the silverware!

Went to tour at county fairs in Nebraska, won pie-eating contests against the local champs. When I was 5 she taught me how to do a hand stand. There's no denying that my grandma's cool as hell.

If out of adventure comes more adventure, then out of something great comes something... grand. I want to be just like my grandma, I'll be a teacher and I'll play in a band.
