many years ago when I was 23
This widow had a grown -up daughter
My father fell in love with her
and soon they two were wed
This made my dad my son -in -law
For my daughter was my mother
cause she was my father's wife
To complicate the matter,
even though it brought me joy,
This little baby then became a brother -in -law to Dad,
which was really very sad.
then that also made him brother
of the widow's grown -up daughter,
who of course was my stepmother.
It sounds funny I know, but it really is so
My father's wife then had a son
And he became my grandchild
for he was my daughter's son
My wife is now my mother's mother
Because although she is my wife,
she's my grandmother too.
It sounds funny, I know, but it really is so.
Now it's my wife, it's my grandmother,
And every time I think of it,
the strangest case you ever saw
As husband of my grandmother,
It sounds funny, I know, but it really is so,
For I'm my own Grandpa Ken!
