It's been really difficult to move on from Hip Hop Grandad. Every time I have tried to write something in my usual style I have ended up breaking out into Old Man Lancashire Rap! It's like I have created this creative monster that I can't shake off!
But finally, last week when Grandad went off to Scarborough for the day on a Golden Years coach trip, I managed to break free and write this. It's a bit of an ironic response to Climate Change. I'm hoping that Greta Thunberg will hear it and slag me off on Facebook

Lyrics - thanks for reminding me to post them
@PaulAds, yep senior moment, you got me
2099
There's something about C02
The earth got warmer, oh really, who knew?
But in the cold and grey UK
Make us Hawaii, yeah that's OK
We're naughty naughty boys
And naughty naughty girls
For ravaging the planet
Murdering our world
By the year 2099
Humans will all live on Mars
Acclimatised just fine
By the year 2099
Planet earth abandoned
Desolated by mankind
But New Year's Eve
Oh we'll
Still party
So what we're talking two degrees
And we will boil, but who wants to freeze?
Bring back our plastic carrier bags
Reusing our own, well that's such a drag
We're poisoning all the fish
Says this documentary
But all's well at the chippy
A fish supper for me
We're all dancing
At the ghost party
