When he was young
My grandson carried a gun
It was just for fun
No need to be on the run
He went shooting at the fair
He went to the fair without a care
Shooting the duck but had no luck
Without a care, down at the fair
When he was young
My grandson carried a gun
It was just for fun
Maybe he should go on the run
He was down the fair
He did not really care
Maybe he should pick up his gun
It’s quite fun being on the run
When he was young
My grandson carried a gun
It was just for fun
No need to be on the run
He went shooting at the fair
He didn’t really have a care
Being decent didn’t shoot any other stuff
Or hold anyone to ransom for a million bucks
La la la la la
La la la la la
