Paroles de 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.

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
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 changed my very life,

My daughter was my mother,
cause she was my father's wife. 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,
then that also made him brother

Of the widow's grown-up daughter,
who, of course, was my stepmother.

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.

Father's wife then had a son
who kept him 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.

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.

Now if my wife is my grandmother,
then I'm her grandchild,

And everytime I think of it,
it nearly drives me wild,

For 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.
