I'm My Own Grandpa

It's many, many years ago

When I was twenty-three

I was married to a widow

Who was pretty as can be

This widow had a grown-up daughter

Who's hair was red

My father fell in love with her

And soon these two were wed



This made 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 situation

Though it brought me joy

I soon became the father

Of a bouncing baby boy



This little baby then became

A brother-in-law to Dad

That made him my uncle

Though it made me kinda sad

Cause if he was my uncle

Then he also was a brother

To the widow's grown-up daughter

Who of course was my step-mother



My father's wife then had a son

Who kept him on the run

He became my grandchild

Because he was my daughter's son

My wife is now my mother's mother

And that makes me blue

Because although she is my wife

She's my grandmother too



And if my wife is my grandmother

Then I'm her grandchild

And every time I think of that

It nearly drives me wild

Now I have become

The strangest case you ever saw

As husband to my grandmother

I am my own grandpa



Well I'm my own grandpa

I'm my own grandpa

That may sound funny I know

But it really is so

I'm my own grandpa
