I’m my own Grandpa By: Dwigth Latham & Moe Jaffe (1947) Many, many years ago when I was twenty-three, I was married to a widow who was pretty as could be. This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red My father fell in Love with her and soon the two were wed. This made my dad my son-in-law which changed my very life! My daughter was my mother cause she was my fathers wife! To complicate the matter even though it brought me joy, I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy. This little baby he became a brother-in-law to Dad. That made him my uncle which made me very sad! Cause if he was my uncle then he also was a brother To the widows grown-up daughter, who, of course, was my stepmother. I’m my own grandpa! I’m my own grandpa! It sounds funny, I know, but it really is so! Oh, I’m my own grandpa! My fathers wife then had a son who kept them on the run. And, he became my grandchild cause he was my daughters son. My wife is now my mothers mother and this makes me blue although she is my wife, she is my grandmother too! I’m my own grandpa! I’m my own… Now if my wife is my grandmother, well, then I am her grandchild, And every time that I think about this, it nearly drives me wild! Because now I have become the strangest case that you ever saw As husband of my grandmother, I’m my own grandpa! I’m my own grandpa! I’m my own… 30
In <strong>The</strong> Trade Of Jester Av: Jauvet In the trade of jester, we’re fools that play our part. In an act sworn by folklore, where the lines are made by heart. Getting gold from the nobles and mocking from yey all. But we drink with the greatest warriors and we dance in every hall. We travel through the countries. We go from town to town. We’re the sworn kings of jester. But we never worn a crown. Getting gold from the nobles and mocking from yey all. But we drink with the greatest warriors and we dance in every hall. I never had a family. Nor have I had a wife. It’s a high cost of living. It’s the price I pay for life. Getting gold from the nobles and mocking from yey all. But we drink with the greatest warriors and we dance in every hall. We meet the fairest ladies but we never had a chance. So we play our bagpipes as the common people dance. Getting gold from the nobles and mocking from yey all. But we drink with the greatest warriors and we dance in every hall. To die without a nickel is a scare for anyone. So we work until our last day and we die like common man. Getting gold from the nobles and mocking from yey all. But we drink with the greatest warriors and we dance in every hall. 31
