Lyrics

Way down in louisiana close to new orleans
I was raised among the evergreens
In a titty-bar made of earth and wood
It was my grandma's, it was good

She never ever learned to read or write so well
But she could run a bar like ringing a bell
And all kinds of people came from miles around
To see the girls dancing when the sun went down
Yeah all the girls, grandma and me
Were one big happy family
A neon sign had her name in lights
It said, "grandma's house of babes tonite!"

Over the river and through the woods to grandma's
House of babes
She had the goods out in the woods
Grandma's house of babes-not just nice
Grandma's house of babes-it's paradise
Grandma's house of babes-house of babes

Aunts bunny, bambi, honey, candi and the rest
Are just memories now, but oh so sweet
Those days were the best

When I got older I woved away
I finally went back just the other day
Now I regret I hadn't gone before
'Cause the house of babes-it ain't no more
Gram got old-senile, now it's grandma's house of
Reptiles
A tourist trap off the interstate
It's a gator zoo, she sells live bait

Over the river and through the woods to grandma's
House of babes
She had the goods out in the woods
Grandma's house of babes-not just nice
Grandma's house of babes-it's paradise
Grandma's house of babes-baby

Over the river and through the woods to grandma's
House of babes
She had the goods out in the woods
Grandma's house of babes-not just nice
Grandma's house of babes-it's paradise
Grandma's house of babes-house of babes

Grandma's house of babes-you know you can't go home
Again
Grandma's house of babes-'cause now is now, and that
Was then
Grandma's house of babes-baby
