My Own Grandpa

Tune: ???

• I'm my own grandpa,
  I'm my own grandpa,
  It sounds funny I know,
  But it's really so,
  I'm my own grandpa.

  I'm my own grandpa,
  I'm my own grandpa,
  It sounds funny I know,
  But it's really so,
  I'm my own grandpa.

  Many years ago,
  When I was twenty three,
  I was married to a widow,
  Who was pretty as can be.
  This widow had a grownup daughter,
  Who had hair of red.
  My father fell in love with her,
  And soon the two were wed.

  This made my father my son-in-law,
  Which changed my very life,
  My daughter was my mother,
  For she was my father's wide.
  And to complicate the matter,
  Even though it brought me joy,
  I soon became the father of,
  A bouncing baby boy.

  This little baby then
  Became the brother of my dad.
  So became my uncle
  Though it made me sad.
  By then he was my uncle
  And he also was the brother
  Of the grownup daughter
  Who of course was my step mother.

  I'm my own grandpa,
  I'm my own grandpa,
  It sounds funny I know,
  But it's really so,
  I'm my own grandpa.

  My father's wife then had a son,
  Who kept them on the run.
  He just became the grandchild
  For he was my daughter's son.
  My wife is now my father's mother,
  And it makes me blue.
  Although she is my wife,
  She is my grandmother too.

  Now if my wife is my grandmother,
  I am her grandchild.
  And every time I think of it,
  It really drives me wild.
  Now I have become the strangest
  Case you ever saw.
  I am the husband of my own grandmother:
  I am my own grandpa.
  And I'm my own grandpa,
  I'm my own grandpa,
  It sounds funny I know,
  But it's really so,
  I'm my own grandpa.
