I’m my own grandpa
C C7 F D
It sounds funny, I know, but it really is so,
C G C - G
oh, I'm my own grandpa !
C G C F Dm G
I'm my own grandpa, I'm my own grandpa !
C C7 F D
It sounds funny, I know, but it really is so,
C G C

1. Now many, many years ago, when I was twenty-three,
G7 C
I was married to a widow who was pretty as could be.
C7 Dm
This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red,
D D7 G G7
my father fell in love with her, and soon the two were wed.
C G
2. This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life,
G7 C
my daughter was my mother, cause she was my father's wife.
C7 Dm
To complicate the matter, even though it brought me joy,
D D7 G G7
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy.
C G
3. My little baby then became a brother-in-law to Dad,
G7 C
and so became my uncle, though it made me very sad.
C7 Dm
For if he was my uncle, that also made him brother
D D7 G G7
of the widow's grown-up daughter, who, of course, was my stepmother.
C G
4. My father's wife then had a son who kept him on the run,
G7 C
and he became my grandchild, for he was my daughter's son.
C7 Dm
My wife is now my mother's mother, and it makes me blue,
D D7 G G7
because she is my wife, she's my grandmother, too.
C G
5. Now if my wife is my grandmother, then I'm her grandchild,
G7 C
and everytime I think of it, it nearly drives me wild.
C7 Dm
For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw,
D D7 G G7
as husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa !
C G C F Dm G
I'm my own grandpa, I'm my own grandpa !
C C7 F D
It sounds funny, I know, but it really is so,
C G C
oh, I'm my own grandpa !
