I'm My Own Grandpa
Lyricist:Moe Jaffe, Dwight Latham
He's his 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 the two 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
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 That also made him brother To the widow's grown-up daughter Who, of course, was my step-mother
I'm my own grandpa (He's his own grandpa) It sounds funny, I know But it really is so Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I'm my own grandpa
My 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 (He's his own grandpa) It sounds funny, I know But it really is so I'm my own grandpa
Now if my wife is my grandmother Then I am her grandchild And every time I think of it It clearly 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 (He's his own grandpa) It sounds funny, I know But it really is so I'm my own grandpa
Oh, that years
