Lyrics

Talk to Nana, Talk to Nana
Tell Nana all your troubles
Talk to Nana, Talk to Nana
Tell Nana all you need.
And if Nana cannot help you,
If she can't do anything......

Talk to Grampa......etc.
And if Grampa cannot help you,
If he can't do anything.....

Talk to Daddy...... etc,

Talk to Mommy...... etc.
(Instrumental)

Talk to Nana, Talk to Nana
Tell Nana all your troubles
Talk to Nana, Talk to Nana
Talk to Nana, baby , talk to Nana
Talk to Nana, Talk to Nana
Talk to Nana, baby, talk to Nana
