I'm My Own Grandpaw |
Oh, 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 the two were wed |
This made my dad my son-in-law |
And changed my very life |
For my daughter was my mother |
'Cause she was my father’s wife |
To complicate the matter |
Though it really brought me joy |
I soon became the father |
Of a bouncing baby boy |
This 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 brother |
Of the widow’s grown-up daughter |
Who of course is my step-mother |
Chorus |
I’m my own grandpa |
I’m my own grandpa |
It sounds funny I know |
But it really is so Oh, I’m my own grandpa |
My 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 although 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 you ever saw |
As husband of my grandma |
I am my own grandpa |
