The Tangle
Listen up, what a mess I'm about to sing
Untangle it, man
I married a widow who had a daughter
But my mom passed away, my dad was left a widower
He fell in love with my stepdaughter, better said, my daughter
And just a few days later, he married her
My stepdaughter had a kid who was both my brother and grandson
Since he’s my daughter’s son and my dad’s son
My wife is now my grandma since she’s my mother’s mother
This is one hell of a mess, untangle it if you can
And how many are there, man?
Two or three, like a good poor guy, man
My dad is now my son-in-law and my daughter is my mother
Since she’s my dad’s wife, she became my mom
With my wife, I had a kid who’s my dad’s brother-in-law
And at the same time, he’s my uncle, this is getting tangled up
My stepdaughter had a kid who was both my brother and grandson
Since he’s my daughter’s son and my dad’s son
My wife is now my grandma since she’s my mother’s mother
This is one hell of a mess, untangle it if you can
So then I’m a son of a... Who the hell am I, man?
And Amparo took Manuel to the fields of San Antonio, man
From my wife, I’m a husband and at the same time, I’m a grandson
Since I’m my daughter’s son married to my dad
I don’t even know who I am if I don’t understand myself
Untangle it, you all, or whoever feels capable
My stepdaughter had a kid who was both my brother and grandson
Since he’s my daughter’s son and my dad’s son
My wife is now my grandma since she’s my mother’s mother
This is one hell of a mess, untangle it if you can
