DNow many many yeAars ago when I was twenty-three
I was married tDo a widow who was pretty as can be
This widow had Ga grown up daughter who had hair of red
My Efather Afell in love with her and soon they too were wed
This Dmade my dad my sAon-in-law and changed my very life
My daughter wasD my mother for she was my father's wife
To complicate tGhe matter even though it brought me joy
I sEoon becAame the father of a bouncing baby boy
My liDttle baby then bAecame a brother-in-law to dad
And so became mDy uncle though it made me very sad
For if he was mGy uncle then that also made him brother
Of Ethe widAor's grown up daughter who of course was my step-mother
FatheDr's wife then haAd a son who kept him on the run
And he became mDy grandchild for he was my daughter's son
My wife is now Gmy mother's mother and it makes me blue
BecEause alAthough she is my wife she's my grandmother too
Now iDf my wife is my Agrandmother then I'm her grandchild
And every time DI think of it it nearly drives me wild
For now I have Gbecome the strangest case you ever saw
As EhusbandA of my grandmother I am my own grandpa
DI'm my oAwn grand-Dpa IG'm my owG7n grand-pAa
ItD sounds funny I know Gbut it really is so
Oh ID'm mAy own granDd-pa
