lyrics

that’s the way that
grandma always made it
I’m sure there’s better ways by now
grandpa always loved
the way that it tasted
that’s the way that made the family proud
if you wanted to scrap the scrap
start afresh from naught from scratch
if you don’t mind ducking and standing tall
find a way that
honors new traditions
using methods that grandma couldn’t have known
use equipment and tools
that didn’t yet exist then
try combinations of flavors that aren’t so old
if you wanted to scrap the scrap
start afresh from naught from scratch
if you don’t mind ducking and standing tall
I think I’m wanting to scrap the scrap and
start afresh from naught from scratch
I don’t mind ducking and standing tall
remember the way that
grandma always made it
We know there’s better ways by now
but that doesn’t mean
that we can’t recreate it
once in a while just so we all remember how
but I’m dying to scrap the scrap and
start afresh from naught from scratch
I promise that I’ll pass on the ways of old
still I’m going to scrap the scrap
start afresh from naught from scratch
I don’t mind ducking and standing alone
