	The little old lady from Pasadena

	      Fm         Db        Bb
	Is a brand new, shiny red Super Stock Dodge

Chorus:

	      Eb
	And everybody's sayin' that there's nobody meaner

	It's the little old lady from Pasadena

Verse 2:

	If you see her on the street don't try to choose her
	(Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go)
	You might drive a goer but you'll never lose her
	(Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go)
	Well, she's gonna get a ticket now sooner or later
	'Cause she can't keep her foot off the accelerator

	The guys come to race her for miles around
	            Gm         Eb                     C
	But she'll give 'em a length and then she'll shut 'em down
