I know where the roses grow,
I know where the fireflies go,
I know where I can dance and sing
And can do most anything --
It's out at my Grandma's.

The calves with their stilted run,
Old Spot with his waggish fun
Await my visit to the farm;
Every day bubbles up with charm --
Days out at my Grandma's.

The orchard is bees' delight
From dawn until drowsy night
When sleepy kitty I shall rock
As I hum softly with the clock --
While out at my Grandma's.

It's there that the roses grow,
It's there that the fireflies go,
Where little girls can dance and sing
And can do almost anything --
It's out at my Grandma's.
