I'm My Own Grandpa!

[Ruhiel]

Many, many years ago when I was just twenty three,
I was married to a widow, she was pretty as could be.
This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red
and my father fell in lover with her. Soon they too were wed.

This made my dad my son-in-law - changed my very life!
My daughter was my mother because 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.
Well, that made him my uncle - made me very sad!
Because if he was my uncle then he was also a brother
To the widow's grown-up daughter, who, of course was my step-mother!

My father's wife then had a son who kept them on the run
And, of course, he became my grandchild because he was my daughter's son;
My wife is now my mother's mother and this makes me blue
Because although she is my wife, she's my grandmother too!

Now if my wife is my grandmother, well, then I am her grandchild.
And every time I think about it, it nearly drives me wild!
Because now I have become the strangest case that you ever saw
As husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa!

I'm my own grandpa! I'm my own grandpa!
It sounds funny, I know, but it really is so!
Oh, I'm my own grandpa!
