I'm My Own Grandpa

Now, many many years ago

When i was twenty three

I was married to a widow

Who was pretty as could be

This widow had a grown-up daughter

Had hair of red

My father fell in love with her

And soon the two were wed

This made my dad my son-in-law

And changed my very life

My daughter was my mother

'cause she was my father's wife

To complicate the matters

Even though it brought me joy

I soon became the father

Of a bouncing baby boy

My little baby then became

A brother-in-law to dad

And so became my uncle

Though it made me very sad

For if he was my uncle

That also made him the brother

Of the widow's grown-up daughter

Who, of course, was my step-mother

I'm my own grandpa

I'm my own grandpa

It sounds funny i know

But it really is so

I'm my own grandpa

My father's wife then had a son

That kept them on the run

And he became my grandchild

For he was my daughter's son

My wife is now my mother's mother

And it makes me blue

Because, she is my wife

She's my grandmother too

I'm my own grandpa

I'm my own grandpa

It sounds funny i know

But it really is so

I'm my own grandpa

Now, if my wife is my grandmother

Then, i am her grandchild

And every time i think of it

It nearly drives me wild

For now i have become

The strangest case you ever saw

As the husband of my grandmother

I am my own grandpa

I'm my own grandpa

I'm my own grandpa

It sounds funny i know

But it really is so

I'm my own grandpa

I'm my own grandpa

I'm my own grandpa

It sounds funny i know

But it really is so

I'm my own grandpa
