Here's the entire text of the song (as I remember it):
I'm my Own Grandpa Yes I'm my own grandpa It sounds funny I know But it really is so Oh, I'm my own grandpa.
Many, many years ago when I was 23 I was married to a widow who was pretty as could be This widow had a grownup daughter who had hair of red My father fell in love with her and soon they two were wed
This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life For my daughter was my mother 'cause she was my father's wife To complicate the matter even though it brought me joy I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy
My little baby then became a brother-in-law to Dad And soon became my uncle though it made me very sad For if he was my uncle then that also made him brother To the widow's grownup daughter (who of course was my stepmother)
(chorus)
Father's wife then had a son who kept them on the run And he became my grandchild 'cause he was my daughter's son My wife is now my mother's mother and it makes me blue For even though she is my wife she's my grandmother too
(musical interlude)
If my wife is my grandmother then I'm her grandchild And every time I think of it it nearly drives me wild For now I have become the strangest thing you ever saw As husband of my grandmother I am my own grandpa
(chorus)
Clever, huh?
