I'm My Own Grandpaw

Many, many years ago when I was 23 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 This made my dad my son-in-law and really changed my life For 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 My little baby then became a brother-in-law to dad And so he became my uncle though it mad me very sad For if he were my uncle that would also made him brother Of the widows grown-up daughter who was of course my stepmother 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 two Now if my wife is my grandmother then I'm her grandchild And every time I think of 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 grandpaw Oh I'm my own grandpaw I'm my own grandpaw It sounds funny I know but it really is so I'm my own grandpaw (Listen to this now) I'm my own grandpaw I'm my own grandpaw I'm my own grandpaw
