"Our song" <br><br>Many, many years ago when I was twenty-three<br>I was married to a widow who was pretty as could be.<br>This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red.<br>My father fell in love with her and soon they, too, were wed.<br><br>This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life<br>For my daughter was my mother, 'cause she was my father's wife.<br>To complicate the matter, even though it brought me joy<br>I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy.<br><br>My little baby then became a brother-in-law to dad<br>And so became my uncle, though it made me very sad<br>For if he was my uncle, then that also made him brother<br>To the widow's grown-up daughter, who, of course, was my step-mother.<br><br>My father's wife then had a son who kept them on the run<br>And he became my grand-child, 'cause he was my daughter's son.<br>My wife is now my mother's mother, and it makes me blue<br>Because, although she is my wife, she's my grandmother too.<br><br>If my wife is my grandmother, then I am her grandchild<br>And every time I think of it, it nearly drives me wild<br>For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw<br>(This has got to be the strangest thing I ever saw)<br>As husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpaw.<br><br>Chorus<br>I'm my own grandpaw<br>I'm my own grandpaw<br>It sounds funny I know<br>but it really is so<br>Oh, I'm my own grandpaw.<br><br>KateMate
