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.



This made my dad my son-in-law

And really changed my life.

Now, my daughter was my mother,

'Courrse she was my father's wife.



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 became my uncle,

Though it made me very sad.



For if, if he was my uncle,

Then that also made him brother

Of the widow's grown-up daughter

Who, of course, my step-mother.



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.



Now, If my wife is my grandmother,

Then I'm her grandchild.

And every time I think of it,

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 grandpa



Oh, I'm my own grandpa (haha)

I'm my own grandpa (whew)



It not funny I know

But it really is so

Yeah, I'm my own grandpa



Listen to this now

I'm my own grandpa

Would you believe that (haha)

I'm my own grandpa

Talk about incest

It sounds funny I know

But it really is so

I'm my own grandpa...
