I'm My Own Grandpa

[Verse 1] 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 matter, even though it brought me joy I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy My little baby then became the 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 [Chorus] I'm my own grandpa I'm my own grandpa It sounds funny, I know, but it really is so For I'm my own grandpa [Verse 2] My father's wife then had a son that kept him 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] Now, if my wife is my grandmother, then I'm 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 husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa [Chorus] I'm my own grandpa I'm my own grandpa It sounds funny, I know, but it really is so For I'm my own grandpa [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] 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
