Grandma is up a tree Waiting for the rapture I guess I should mention She’s completely nude She’s up there waiting For her Lord and Savior to return She shed her earthly garments She thinks she’s wearing her heavenly raiments Grandma is up a tree With absent minded zealotry I guess you could say She’s a real lost cause Lost cause, cause It’s a lost cause Lost cause It’s lost cause It’s a lost cause Lost cause I’m in a band Waiting for the noise to begin I got an audience of one It’s just lonely old me When you play the kind of music That not many people want to hear You can’t be surprised When there aren’t many ears Well, I’m in a band And we play weird folk music I guess you could say It’s a real lost cause Lost cause, cause It’s a lost cause Lost cause It’s lost cause It’s a lost cause Lost cause Old Uncle Leroy He’s in the garage having church See, he met a girl, went to some meetings And changed some things Don’t think for a second That he’s fooling anybody It’s the same old bottle With a different label Old Uncle Leroy Is in the garage drinking his sacraments And I guess you could say He’s a real lost cause Lost cause, cause It’s a lost cause Lost cause It’s lost cause It’s a lost cause Lost cause I guess we are all Like ducks sitting on the water Floating steady, nipping at bugs Enjoying every kind of weather But underneath it all We’re kicking just as fast as we can We’re in a great big hurry Even if we’re already there So lace up your running shoes And plop right down in the grass If you got somewhere better to be Then it’s a real lost cause Lost cause, cause It’s a lost cause Lost cause It’s lost cause It’s a lost cause Lost cause Lost cause, cause It’s a lost cause Lost cause It’s lost cause It’s a lost cause Lost cause Lost cause, cause It’s a lost cause Lost cause It’s lost cause It’s a lost cause Lost cause Lost cause, cause It’s a lost cause Lost cause It’s lost cause It’s a lost cause Lost cause
