Lyrics I'm My Own Grandpa - Ray Stevens

I'm My Own Grandpa

Oh, many, many years ago\nWhen I was twenty-three\nI was married to a widow\nWho was pretty as can be This widow had a grown-up daughter\nWho had hair of red\nMy father fell in love with her\nAnd soon the two were wed\nThis made my dad my son-in-law\nAnd changed my very life\nFor my daughter was my mother\n'Cause she was my father’s wife\nTo complicate the matter\nThough it really brought me joy\nI soon became the father\nOf a bouncing baby boy\nThis little baby then became\nA brother-in-law to Dad\nAnd so became my uncle\nThough it made me very sad\nFor if he was my uncle\nThen that also made him brother\nOf the widow’s grown-up daughter\nWho of course is my step-mother\nChorus\nI’m my own grandpa\nI’m my own grandpa\nIt sounds funny I know\nBut it really is so Oh, I’m my own grandpa\nMy father’s wife then had a son\nWho kept them on the run\nAnd he became my grandchild\nFor he was my daughter’s son\nMy wife is now my mother’s mother\nAnd it makes me blue\nBecause although she is my wife\nShe’s my grandmother too\nNow if my wife is my grandmother\nThen I’m her grandchild\nAnd every time I think of it It nearly drives me wild\nFor now I have become\nThe strangest case you ever saw\nAs husband of my grandma\nI am my own grandpa
