Your Auntie Grizelda - The Monkees

By diane hilderbrand and jack keller

She knows her mind all right, your auntie grizelda,

She says she knows my kind, she might, maybe so.

Oh, yeah, shes raised you right, your auntie grizelda,

You only know the things she wants you to know.

I know shes having a fit,

She doesnt like me a bit,

No bird of grace ever lit on auntie grizelda.

You cant begrudge her style, your auntie grizelda,

She couldnt budge a smile and do it for free.

So righteous making fudge, your auntie grizelda,

So proper judging others over her tea.

You look just like her you do,

I know by looking at you,

That youve been listening to your auntie grizelda.

Oh, no, dont look at me like auntie grizelda

It takes much more to be someone of your own.

Youve got to make it free from auntie grizelda

Or just like her youll have to make it alone.

I know shes having a fit,

She doesnt like me a bit,

No bird of grace ever lit on auntie grizelda.

Auntie grizelda, auntie grizelda
