I’m My Own Grandpa

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] This made my dad my son-in-law And really changed my life Now 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 [Verse 3] My little baby then became a brother-in-law to Dad And so became my uncle, though it made me very sad For, if-if he were my uncle, then that also made him brother Of the widow's grown-up daughter, who was of course, my stepmother Uh-huh [Verse 4] 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 God! [Verse 5] Now, if my wife is my grandmother, then I'm her grandchild, yeah And every time I think of it, heh! Nearly drives me wild 'Cause now I have become the strangest case you ever saw As husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpaw [Chorus] Oh, I'm my own grandpaw I'm my own grandpaw, whoa It sounds funny, I know, but it really is so Oh, I'm my own grandpaw Listen to this, now I'm my own grandpaw, can you believe that? Haha I'm my own grandpaw Talk about incest! It sounds funny, I know, but it really is so Oh, I'm my own grandpaw
