Your Auntie Grizelda

"Your Auntie Grizelda" is a song recorded by the American pop rock group the Monkees. Diane Hildebrand wrote the lyrics and Jack Keller composed the music. It is the first released song of the band with Peter Tork on lead vocals.

Popularization
Although never released as a single, "Your Auntie Grizelda" has appeared on several of the band's subsequent "Greatest Hits" albums, and the Monkees regularly performed it in their live shows. In the instrumental break, Tork was told beforehand to make nonsensical sounds, according to songwriter Diane Hildebrand. ==Lyrics==
Lyrics
"Your Auntie Grizelda" is a general complaint about a prissy and spinsterish aunt named Grizelda. The verses condemn her as pushy, righteous, and judgemental, with the chorus concluding that "No bird of grace ever lit on auntie Grizelda". ==Outside of The Monkees shows==
