Sundaes on a Sunday Afternoon
Sweet Indulgence: Grandma's Rebellious Sundaes
Lyrics
They say she's gonna spoil her grandkids
There are expectations that she will indulge her grandchildren.
But she don't believe it, what are grandmas for anyway?
She dismisses the idea, questioning the purpose of grandmas if not for spoiling.
And they say she's gotta teach 'em moderation
Others advise teaching moderation to the grandchildren.
Or else those little brats'll just expect they can get their own way
Without moderation, the kids might develop a sense of entitlement.
But she smiles as she orders another scoop
She happily orders more ice cream despite advice.
To rouse and rile her little troops
She enjoys provoking and energizing her young relatives.
Five plastic spoons
Five plastic spoons may imply shared enjoyment with others.
And sundaes on a Sunday afternoon
The indulgence happens on a Sunday afternoon with sundaes.
They say she's gonna make 'em diabetic
There's a concern that her actions might lead to diabetes in the grandchildren.
But you must be a heretic to talk about Grandma that way
Critics are labeled as heretics for speaking negatively about Grandma.
And she knows they won't be young forever
She acknowledges the fleeting nature of youth and the inevitability of aging.
They will get old and clever and forget about these foolish ways
Anticipates that the grandchildren will grow wiser and forget such indulgent behavior.
And she knows there'll be time for foods that are green
Recognizes that there will be time for healthier food choices in the future.
Maybe in their late teens
Specifically mentions the late teens as a potential time for healthier eating habits.
But until then, this will do
Until then, she sees no harm in the current indulgence.
Sundaes on a Sunday afternoon
Reiterates the enjoyment of sundaes on a Sunday afternoon.
Ah
Repetitive sounds (Ah) that may indicate a musical interlude or emotional emphasis.
Ah
-Ah
-Ah
-And she says, she ain't gonna die tomorrow
She asserts that she won't die soon, rejecting sympathy or concern.
So don't you feel no sorrow for Grandma no way no how
Despite her statement, she acknowledges a universal desire for more enjoyable experiences.
But she says, she's just like everyone
Shares a common regret of not having more fun in the past.
She should have had more fun but she's making up for that right now
She compensates for past regrets by indulging in pleasures now.
