My Grandad's grey  
I saw him yesterday
Standing in the supermarket queuing up to pay
But it was moan, moan, moan!  He kept on going about 
The price of peas and carrots and how he used to grow his own

And how he'd dig, dig, dig
And how his onions were so big, big, big
And everything would just grow, grow, grow
And how he loved his garden so, he said ...

I used to have an allotment and it meant a lot to me
I used to have an allotment and it meant a lot to me
There were rows of fruit and vegetables as far as you could see
It meant a lot, meant a lot, me old allotment

He said 'Listen Grandson.  I'll show you how it's done
Come round after tea tomorrow and we can have some fun
And when I got there, there was soil everywhere
He'd dug up his lawn and flowers and was resting in a chair

And now we dig, dig, dig
And Grandad's smile's really big, big, big
And as the garden started to grow, grow, grow
He still loves to let me know ...

I used to have an allotment and it meant a lot to me
I used to have an allotment and it meant a lot to me
There were rows of fruit and vegetables as far as you could see
It meant a lot, meant a lot, me old allotment

I said 'Grandad.  If that's what you loved then why'd you give it up?'
He said 'When your grandma died, well, it all just got too much
And me joints started to ache, then me hips got replaced.'
And all those memories made a tiny tear roll down Grandad's face

Now me and granddad love to dig, dig, dig
And every leek and marrow's really big, big, big
I feel my love for Grandad grow, grow, grow
And I hope when I get old I'll say ...

I used to have an allotment and it meant a lot to me
I used to have an allotment and it meant a lot to me
There were rows of fruit and vegetables as far as you could see
It meant a lot, meant a lot, me old allotment
