My Perfect Cousin Songtext
von The Undertones

I′ve got a cousin called Kevin
He's sure to go to heaven
Always spotless, clean and neat
As smooth as you′ll get 'em
He's got a fur lined sheepskin jacket
My ma said they cost a packet
But she won′t even let me explain
That me and Kevin we′re just not the same

Oh, my perfect cousin
What I like to do he doesn't
He′s his family's pride and joy
His mother′s little golden boy


He's got a degree in economics
Maths, physics and bionics
He thinks that I′m a cabbage
'Cause I hate University Challenge
Even at the age of ten Smart boy
Kevin was a smart boy then
He always beat me at Subbuteo
'Cause he ′flicked to kick′
And I didn't know

Oh, my perfect cousin
What I like to do he doesn′t
He's his family′s pride and joy
His mother's little golden boy

His mother bought him a synthesiser
Got the Human League into advise her
Now he′s making lots of noise
Playing along with the art school boys
Girls try to attract his attention
But what a shame, it's in vain, total rejection
He will never be left on the shelf
'Cause Kevin, he′s in love with himself

Oh, my perfect cousin
What I like to do he doesn′t
He's his family′s pride and joy
His mother's little golden boy
