Hortense Funk, what a lady, what a name
But I liked to call her Donnie best
I'm named after her husband Charles
I called him Gramp
I always wondered what was on the forehead
She was born in December 1900
One hundred years ago
My mom's mom's mother
Great grandmother of mine
Beautiful lady of the snow
Behind the Burger Chef
On 29th Street she lived
For many years that I recall
We'd hang out in her kitchen
While Gramp would take a nap
I'd sneak a peek at him from down the hall
She was born in December 1900
One hundred years ago
My mom's mom's mother
Great grandmother of mine
Beautiful lady of the snow
Her percolator perked
While we are fig newtons
Milk and cookies and SpaghettiOs
Behind the table stood a stack
Of old newspapers
Her kitchen is what I remember most
She was born in December 1900
One hundred years ago
My mom's mom's mother
Great grandmother of mine
Beautiful lady of the snow
Beautiful lady of the snow
