Many many years ago, when I was twenty-three I got married to a widow who was pretty as could be The widow had a grown up daughter who had hair of red My father fell in love with her, and soon the two were wed Well, that made Dad my son-in-law which almost changed my life My daughter was my mother, though 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 That little boy, he then became a brother-in-law to Dad Which made him my uncle, which made me kind of sad Because if he was my uncle, then he also was the brother To the widow's grown-up daughter, who of course was my step-mother My father had a little boy, which kept him on the run The kid he was my grandchild though he was my father's son My wife is now my mother's mother, which makes me kind of blue To think that though she is my wife, she's my grandmother too Because if she is my grandmother, then I am her grandchild Now every time I think of this, it almost drives me wild For I've become the strangest sight that anyone ever saw As husband to my grandmother, I am my own Grandpa.... Oh I'm my own Grandpa, I'm my own grandpa It seems funny I know, but really it's so I'm my own Grandpa (© 1947 General Music Publishing Co., Inc.) |
