I`m My Own Granpa Lyrics

I'm My Own Grandpa

 Guy Lombardo

 

 Now 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

 

 Oh I'm my own grandpa

 I'm my own granpa

 It sounds funny I know,

 But it really is so

 Oh I'm my own grandpa

 

 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

 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 he was my uncle, then that also made him br'ther

 Of the widow's grown-up daughter who was also 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 altho' 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

 For now I have become the strangest case I ever saw

 As husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa
