The Bathing Suit That Grandma Otter Wore
[Verse 1]
Long long ago
There lived a lady
Simple but elegant
As any on the shore
She was known for her generous silhouette and yet
She was known even more for the bathing suit she wore
[Verse 2]
Once a pirate tried to steal it
It was rumoured he was gonna use it
For a pirate sail
And innocent of such an act he cried
The fact is that's a perfect diaper for a baby whale
[Verse 3]
Sweet grandma's eyes
How they could charm you
Five gеnerations of loving friends she madе
All the children enjoyed her in many ways somedays
When the sun was a scorcher
Grandma otter was their shade
[Verse 4]
Even so it was her bathing suit that made her famous
It was almost heaven sent
Many times when it was drying on the line
A tourist would mistake it for a circus tent
[Verse 5]
Now she has gone
Now she has left us
Left with sweet memories
And left with something more
We've made curtains and handkerchiefs
And clothing for the poor
From the one bathing suit
That your grandma otter wore
From the one bathing suit
That your grandma otter wore
