Lyric 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 can be
This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red
My father fell in love with her and soon they too were wed

Oh I m my own grandpa
I m my own granpa
It sounds funny I know,
But it really is so
Oh I m my own grandpa

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 a brother-in-law to Dad
And so became my uncle, though it made me very sad
For if he was my uncle, then that also made him br ther
Of the widow s grown-up daughter who was also my stepmother

Father s wife then had a son who 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 altho she is my wife, she s my grandmother too

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 I ever saw
As husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa
