I'm My Own Grandpaw

I'm My Own Grandpaw - The Guys

I'm my own grandpaw

I'm my own grandpaw

It sounds funy I know but it really is so

Oh I'm my own grandpaw

Oh 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 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

Too complicate the matter even though it brought me joy

I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy

The 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 brother

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

Oh I am my own grandpaw

I am my own grandpaw

It sounds funny I know

But it really is so

Oh I am my own grandpaw

My 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 although she is my wife she's my grandmother too

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

And everytime I think of it nearly drives me wild

For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw

As husband of my grandmother I am my own grandpaw oh

I am my own grandpaw

I am my own grandpaw

It sounds funny I know

But it really is so

Oh I am my own grandpaw
