I'm My Own Grandpa
By Ray Stevens
D A
Now many, many years ago when I was twenty-three
D
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
E A
My father fell in love with her and soon they too were wed.
Chorus:
D A D G D A
I'm my own grand-pa. I'm my own grand-pa.
D G
It sounds funny I know, but it really is so
D A D
Oh, I'm my own grand-pa.
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
My wife is now my mother's mother and it makes me blue
E A
Because although she is my wife, she's my grandmother too.
Chorus:
D A D G D A
I'm my own grand-pa. I'm my own grand-pa.
D G
It sounds funny I know, but it really is so
D A D
Oh, I'm my own grand-pa.
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
E A
As husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa.
Chorus:
D A D G D A
I'm my own grand-pa. I'm my own grand-pa.
D G
It sounds funny I know, but it really is so
D A D
Oh, I'm my own grand-pa.
