Grandpa's Photo Booth Strip, Four Dumb Faces

by Safety Pin Saints

“Four dumb faces in a photo booth, one of them mine. Grandpa would have hated how loud this is.”

Lyrics

I found a strip of photos in a shoebox on the shelf
Four little frames of Grandpa and a kid who was myself
He's pulling silly faces and I'm laughing like a fool
We squeezed into a booth after the last day of school

First one, we are serious, we're trying to look cool
Second one, he sticks his tongue out, I'm the bigger fool
Third one, we are blurry, we are laughing way too hard
Fourth one, he's just looking at me, holding my small heart

Four dumb faces, one big grin
Four dumb faces, let the fun begin
Hold the strip up high, shout it out loud
Four dumb faces and I'm proud
Four dumb faces, one big grin
That's where all the good stuff lives in

I tape it on my bedroom wall beside my broken amp
It's wrinkled and it's folded and it's a little bit damp
He's gone now but the strip is here, it's got his stupid smile
And I will keep on laughing for a long, long while

Four dumb faces, one big grin
Four dumb faces, let the fun begin
Hold the strip up high, shout it out loud
Four dumb faces and I'm proud
Four dumb faces, one big grin
That's where all the good stuff lives in

Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh
Click, flash, click, flash
Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh
Gone in a flash

Four dumb faces, one big grin
Four dumb faces, let the fun begin
Hold the strip up high, shout it out loud
Four dumb faces and I'm proud
Four dumb faces, one big grin
That's where all the good stuff lives in

Four dumb faces
One big grin
