My grandma went sledding and crashed into a tree.
Her leg broke and never healed properly.
She got an amputation, just below the knee.
She got a prosthesis, and drank coffee.
Bionic Grandma, my brother and I called her.
She gave us rhubarb from her backyard, dipped in sugar.
At parties, she drank beer out of her prosthetic leg.
She gave our family laughter freely, we never had to beg.
chorus:
Grandma lost her leg in a sledding accident.
Be careful on the slopes, so that you are not sent
to the hospital with a bad injury.
If you are going to sled, sled safely.
When I tell the story about how grandma drank beer
out of her prosthetic leg, people laugh and cheer.
I know my dear grandma would be delighted,
to know she still makes people laugh, even though she is dead.
Bionic grandma is still alive in my heart.
And now she's in a song, for a fresh new start.
May people learn from her mistake.
Always sled safely, so your legs don't break.
repeat chorus
