#1.
[D] She knows her mind all right, your Auntie Grizelda.
She says she knows my kind, she might, maybe so.
Oh, [G] yeah, she's raised you right, your Auntie Grizelda.
You [D] only know the things she wants you to know.
 
CHORUS:
[A] I know she's having a fit... [G] she doesn't like me a bit... No [D] bird of grace ever lit on Auntie Grizelda.
 
#2.
[D] You can't begrudge her style, your Auntie Grizelda.
She couldn't budge a smile and do it for free.
So [G] righteous making fudge, your Auntie Grizelda.
So [D] proper judging others over her tea.
 
CHORUS:
[A] You look just like her you do... [G] I know by looking at you... that [D] you've been listening to your Auntie Grizelda.
 
#3.
[D] Oh, no, don't look at me like Auntie Grizelda.
It takes much more to be someone of your own.
You've [G] got to make it free from Auntie Grizelda.
Or [D] just like her you'll have to make it alone.
 
CHORUS:
[A] I know she's having a fit... [G] she doesn't like me a bit... No [D] bird of grace ever lit on Auntie Grizelda.
