[Verse]
           D                             G
I'm from a little country town where the sky is blue
       A                          D
Friday nights around here ain't a whole lot to do
                        G
So I went and called up sweet Becky Lou
        A                          A/E
Said, " How'd you like to go for a drive?"

  D                           G
I took her in my truck to the railroad tracks
A                     D
Lit a cozy fire for a little romance
                          G
I sang her a song and she reached for my hand
     A                             A/E
When daddy busted outta the woods, he said

[Chorus]
              D                   G
Stop it right there, hands in the air
                 A                           D
We think there's somethin' you kids ought to know
                                               G
Ya scared your momma half to death, we've been searchin' the sticks
          A                          A/E
Tryin' to find you and dang that was close
    D                             G
Her daddy's older nephew might be twice removed
              A                        D
But she's the daughter of an uncle re- lated to you
                                       G
You might not wanna go swimmin' in the same gene pool
         A                    D      G A D
Don't be touchin', tha's your cousin  

            D                          G
I turned a- round to look at Becky and she looked at me
             A                        D
We broke the law of attraction almost instantly
                              G
Her pretty brown hair went to ugly and green
    A                   A/E
And she gave me my coat back

   D                       G
So we packed it in but the night was young
              A                              D
She said, "If you don't mind, I'd still like to have fun
                                       G
There's a show called 'Deliverance' on re-run
A                   A/E
Down at the cinema"

[Chorus]
              D                   G
Stop it right there, hands in the air
                 A                           D
We think there's somethin' you kids ought to know
                                               G
Ya scared your momma half to death, we've been searchin' the sticks
          A                          A/E
Tryin' to find you and dang that was close
    D                             G
Her daddy's older nephew might be twice removed
              A                        D
But she's the daughter of an uncle re- lated to you
                                       G
You might not wanna go swimmin' in the same gene pool
         A                    G
Don't be touchin', tha's your cousin

              D                   G
Stop it right there, hands in the air

                                   G
We need a little seperation in the our gene pool

Don't be touchin', tha's your cousin  

[Outro]
      D                         G
Well, I ran into Becky just the other day
       A                 D
At the new online inter- net café
                               G                     A       D
She was lookin' for a man from the Ukraine --- on e- Harmony
