Cousin of Mine

There's a scandal in the neighborhood
And it's all about Julie Brown
It seems that long lost cousin Jerimiah
Had lately arrived in town
Now when when Julie's fella
came and saw him kissing
He started home at once

But Julie said: I'm surprised that 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
Gone, he's a cousin of mine

When Julie had explained her relationship
He said: Honey, that may be so
But this fellow don't look like a 32nd cousin
That I met here a week ago

Julie smiled at him and joined her cousin's side
As they slowly walked away
He heard him ask: who is 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 a just cousin of mine, a cousin of mine
Gone, he's a cousin of mine
would I fool you
gone, he's a cousin of mine
