I'm my own grandpa
And every time I think of it
As the husband of my grandmother
The strangest case you ever saw
I'm my own grandpa
I'm my own grandpa
Who was pretty as could be
Who, of course, was my step-mother
Now, many many years ago
My father's wife then had a son
I'm my own grandpa
And changed my very life
I'm my own grandpa
When I was twenty three
My little baby then became
I'm my own grandpa
My daughter was my mother
And so became my uncle
To complicate the matters
Of a bouncing baby boy
But it really is so
This widow had a grown-up daughter
I'm my own grandpa
'Cause she was my father's wife
And soon the two were wed

This made my dad my son-in-law
It sounds funny I know
For if he was my uncle
My wife is now my mother's mother
It nearly drives me wild
I'm my own grandpa
A brother-in-law to dad
But it really is so

Of the widow's grown-up daughter
Though it made me very sad
But it really is so
For now I have become
I was married to a widow
I'm my own grandpa
It sounds funny I know
I soon became the father
It sounds funny I know
And he became my grandchild
That kept them on the run
I'm my own grandpa
My father fell in love with her
For he was my daughter's son
Then, I am her grandchild
I'm my own grandpa
Because, she is my wife
And it makes me blue
Had hair of red
Even though it brought me joy
It sounds funny I know
That also made him the brother
Now, if my wife is my grandmother
But it really is so
I am my own grandpa
She's my grandmother too
I'm my own grandpa
