I'm My Own Grandpa

Tell us a story grandpa

Come on, please

Many, many years ago

When I was twenty-three

I was married to a widow

Who was pretty as can be

Now 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 really changed my very life

For my daughter was my mother

'Cause she was my father's wife

And to complicate the matter

Even though it brought me joy

I soon became the father

Of a bouncing baby boy, yes I did

My little baby then became

My brother-in-law to Dad

And so became my uncle

Though it made me very sad

For if he were my uncle

Then that also made him brother

Of the widow's grown-up daughter

Who of course was my step-mother

Don't you know?

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

'Cause now I have become

The strangest case you ever saw

As husband of my grandmother

I am my own grandpa

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

I'm my own grandpa

Now listen to this

I'm my own grandpa

It sounds funny I know

But it really is so

Oh, I'm my own grandpa

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

I'm my own grandpa

I'm my own grandpa
