Cousin Of Mine

There's a scandal in the neighborhood

And it's all about Julie brown

It seems a long lost cousin, Jeremiah

Had lately arrived in town

Now when Julie's fella came to call and saw them kissing

He started home at once

But Julie said, "I'm surprised at you

Don't go acting like a dunce"

Why? He's a cousin of mine, a cousin of mine

You're liable for to see him here any old time

He's a cousin of mine, a cousin of mine

Go on, he's a cousin of mine

Now when Julie had explained her relationship

He said, "Honey, that may be so"

But this fella don't look like a thirty-second cousin

That I met here a week ago

Julie smiled at him and joined her cousin, sad

And as they slowly walked away

He heard him ask, ?Who was that fella??

And he heard his Julie say

Why? He's a cousin of mine, a cousin of mine

You're liable for to see him here any old time

He's just a cousin of mine, a cousin of mine

Go on, he's a cousin of mine

Would I fool you?

Go on he's a cousin of mine
