Apologies to Messrs Gilbert and Sullivan & Grandma!

click here to hear the original version:

A while ago now, I thought it might be fun to change the lyrics of this well known and loved piece of operetta from The Mikado. It just seemed to fit perfectly with 3 grumpy old women. 

It goes something like this . . .


Three grumpy old wom-en are we
Mis-rable as we can be
Filled to the brim with H-R-T
H--R--T!

Everything's an effort it's true
Can't touch my toes, how 'bout you?
I never could
So, tell me what's new!

Grumpy old women are we.

Grumpy old women,
Moods all vary
Poor old Hubbie's very wary
All of our hormones
In a quan-drary!
Grumpy old women are we.
Grumpy old women - are we!

Nothing worth watching on TV
Same old junk so why should we
Even pay our licence fee?

Grumpy old women are we

Went to my G.P. the other day
Usual problem? what did he say?
Keep taking the tablets and 'Go away'!

Grumpy old women are we!

Grumpy old women
Not so sprightly.
Grumpy old women don't do politely!
And a hot flush soaks through your nightie!
Grumpy old women are we! 
Grumpy old women - are we!
