Verse:
C         G
Mom says, put on your Christmas best.
C                                   G
Grandpa's coming down this year and it might be his last.
C            G
Why Mom? You say that every time.
C                             G
It seems that he's been dying ever since I was nine.
D                          A
I don't mean no disrespect because he's old and mean.
D                                  A
But how come we invite him when he always makes a scene?
        C            G
Tell me why does, he hit me with his cane?
    C                              G
And why should I get him a gift if he don't know my name?
C            G
How come, he always calls me "Kate"
C                        G
And forgets his dentures on his dinner plate?

This could be Grandpa's last Christmas

That's what Mother said
F
Grandpa's last Christmas

And soon he might be dead, so be nice

Be nice to Grandpa

Verse:
C                         G
What can I say to someone 300 years old?
 C                               G
When he seems so content staring at the jello mold
C               G
Please Mom, let me go out and play
C                                    G
Or soon I will go deaf like him from hearing him complain

Break:
C

Verse:
C           G
I know, his life's been long and hard
        C                        G
And he deserves some quiet peace in a nice graveyard
C          G
Grandpa, I love you just the same
C                                      G
But I know you won't be happy 'til you drive us all insane

Chorus:
              F
This could be Grandpa's last Christmas
C
That's what Mother said
F
Grandpa's last Christmas
G                          C
And soon he might be dead, so be nice
G          C
Be nice to Grandpa
           G           C
Cause he's old and he smells
         G         C
And he's gonna die soon
   G       C
Be nice to Grandpa
