I'm My Own Grandpa by Lonzo & Oscar, Dwight Latham/Moe Jaffe
I'm My Own Grandpa
Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: C
[Intro]
D7 G7 C
C G7
Now many many years ago when I was twenty-three
C
I was married to a widow who was pretty as can be
C7 Dm
This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red
D7 G7
My father fell in love with her and soon the two were wed
C G7
This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life
C
My daughter was my mother 'cause she was my father's wife
C7 Dm
To complicate the matters even though it brought me joy
D7 G7
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy
C G7
My little baby then became a brother-in-law to dad
C
And so became my uncle though it made me very sad
C7 Dm
For if he was my uncle that also made him the brother
D7 G7
Of the widow's grown-up daughter who of course was my step-mother
C G7
My father's wife then had a son that kept them on the run
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
D7 G7
Because although she is my wife she's my grandmother too
C G7
Now if my wife is my grandmother then I am her grandchild
C
And every time I think of it it nearly drives me wild
C7 Dm
For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw
D7 G7
As the husband of my grandmother I am my own grandpa
[Chorus]
C G7 C C7 F Dm G7
I'm my own grandpa I'm my own grandpa
C F Dm
It sounds funny I know but it really is so
C G7 C
Oh I'm my own grandpa
[Chorus]
C G7 C C7 F Dm G7
I'm my own grandpa I'm my own grandpa
C F Dm
It sounds funny I know but it really is so
C G7 C
Oh I'm my own grandpa
[Outro]
D7 G7 C F C
