Dave Berry - Oh What A Life

Copied!

{Verse 1}
When I was a kid I used to listen to dad
All about grandma and grandad
He told me all about grandma with the slippery knee
And about grandad with his fruit gum tree

{Chorus}
Oh what a life
Do they lead
Oh what a life
Do they lead

{Verse 2}
Now I am much older I remember dad
While he told me stories some good some bad
But one thing particular I recall
About Lady Stewart at the Dropout Mall

{Chorus}
Oh what a life
Do they lead
Oh what a life
Do they lead

{Chorus}
Oh what a life
Do they lead
Oh what a life
Do they lead

{Verse 3}
Sir Stewart and his Lady gave 1,000 pounds
Becausе the house in parliament was falling down
Littlе did they know while they were gagging about
Someone stole the cutlet and they had to eat out

{Chorus}
Oh what a life
Do they lead
Oh what a life
Do they lead

The meaning of the song

edit description

"Oh What A Life" by Dave Berry is a nostalgic and whimsical song that reflects on the stories passed down through generations. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of family tales and memories, from grandma with a slippery knee to grandad's fruit gum tree. As the narrator grows older, they remember their dad sharing stories, including one about Lady Stewart at the Dropout Mall. The song also touches on the generosity of Sir Stewart and his Lady, who donated money to fix a crumbling parliament house. With a catchy chorus that repeats the sentiment of marveling at the lives led by those before us, "Oh What A Life" is a charming and heartfelt ode to the past.
