Im My Own Grandpaw Lyrics

Many, many years ago when I was seventeen 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 it changed my very life

    For
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



    This 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 it also made him brother

    To
the widow's grown up daughter who, of course, was my stepmother



  
 I am my own grandpaw

    Yes, I am my own grandpaw

    It sounds
funny, I know

    But it really is so

    I am my own grandpaw



    Father's wife then had a son who kept them on the run

   
And he became my grandchild 'cause 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



    And if my wife is my
grandmother, I am her grandchild

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

    For now I have become the strangest case you
ever saw

    As husband to my grandmother, I am my own grandpaw,... oh
...



    I am my own grandpaw

    Yes, I am my own
grandpaw

    It sounds funny, I know

    But it really is so

   I am my own grandpaw
