Now many many years ago when I was twenty-three

I was married to a widow who was pretty as can be
G
This widow had a grown up daughter who had hair of red
EA
My father fell in love with her and soon they too were wed
D A
This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life
D
My daughter was my mother for she was my father's wife
G
To complicate the matter even though it brought me joy
EA
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy
D A
My little baby then became a brother-in-law to dad
D
And so became my uncle though it made me very sad
G
For if he was my uncle then that also made him brother

Of the widor's grown up daughter who of course was my step-mother
D A
Father's wife then had a son who kept him on the run
D
And he became my grandchild for he was my daughter's son
G
My wife is now my mother's mother and it makes me blue
EA
Because although she is my wife she's my grandmother too
D A
Now if my wife is my grandmother then I'm her grandchild
D
And every time I think of it it nearly drives me wild
G
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 grand-pa I'm my own grand-pa
