Many, many years ago.........

                 Many, many years ago 
                 When I was twenty three,
                 I got married to a widow,
                 Pretty as could be.

                 This widow had a grown-up daughter
                 With flowing hair of red.
                 My father fell in love with her,
                 And soon the two were wed.

                 This made my dad my son-in-law
                 And changed my very life.
                 Now my daughter was my mother,
                 For she was my father's wife.

                 To complicate the matters worse,
                 Although 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 so 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 grown-up-daughter
                 Who, of course, was my step-mother.

                 Father's wife then had a son,
                 Who kept them on the run.
                 And he became my grandson,
                 For he was my daughter's son,

                 My wife is now my mother's mother
                 And it makes me blue.
                 Because, although she is my wife,
                 She's my grandma too.
 
                 If my wife is my grandmother,
                 Then I am her grandchild.
                 And every time I think of it,
                 It simply drives me wild.

                 For now I have become
                 The strangest case you ever saw.
                 As the husband of my grandmother,
                 I am my own grandpa!
