Forty-two years up at quarter past six,
a thermos of coffee and a toolbox to fix,
Grandpa, the best part's about to begin.
Example songs
Frank's Last Day Shift
Retirement song for a grandfather, easygoing country
Read the lyrics
[Verse 1] Forty-two years up at quarter past six, A thermos of coffee and a toolbox to fix, You never once complained when the weather turned mean, Frank, you kept that whole place running clean. [Chorus] So hang up the hard hat, the fish are biting slow, There's a porch and a sunset with your name on, you know, Thank you for the years and the good you put in, Grandpa, the best part's about to begin. [Verse 2] The grandkids want lessons in casting a line, Grandma's got a list, but you'll get to it in time, The tools in the garage can finally take a rest, And so can the man who always gave his best.
Sixty Looks Good On You
60th birthday song for a dad, feel-good rock
Read the lyrics
[Verse 1] You taught me to drive in a beat-up blue Ford, Said "check your mirrors" a thousand times more, You never missed a game, even sat in the rain, Dad, you'd do it all over again. [Chorus] Sixty looks good on you, turn the music up loud, You're still the coolest guy in any crowd, So here's to the jokes and the dad dance too, Happy birthday, Dad, sixty looks good on you.
A gift that tells his story back to him
Grandfathers rarely talk about what they've done. A song that lists it (the years of work, the family he built, the things he taught) often means more than anything you could buy him.
Country, classic rock and acoustic folk are the usual choices; pick whatever he'd have on the radio.
