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 !
