Now, many many years ago When I was twenty three I was married to a widow Who was pretty as could be
This widow had a grown-up daughter 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 My daughter was my mother Because she was my father´s wife To complicate the matters 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 became my uncle Though it made me very sad For if he was my uncle That also made him the brother
Of the widow´s grown-up 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 really is so I´m my own grandpa
My father´s wife then had a son That 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, she is my wife She´s my grandmother too
I´m my own grandpa I´m my own grandpa It sounds funny I know But it really is so I´m my own grandpa
Now, if my wife is my grandmother Then, I am 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 the 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 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 I´m my own grandpa
