Now I've got a cousin called Kevin,

He's sure to go to Heaven,

always spotless, clean and neat,

as smooth as you get 'em.

G
that me and Kevin,
D
we just look the same
Chorus:
A E
Oh, my perfect cousin,
A E
what I like to do he doesn't,
A D
He's his family's pride and joy,
Dbm E
his mother's little golden boy.
Verse2:
He's got a degree in economics,
maths, physics and bionics,
He thinks that I'm a cabbage,
`cos I hate "University Challenge",
Even at the age of ten,
Smart boy Kevin was a smart boy then,
He always beat me at "Subbuteo",
`Cos he flicked to kick,
and I didn't know.
Chorus

E D A G X2
Db -> D x2 or 3...
Verse3:
His mother bought him a synthesizer,
got the Human League in to 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
'cos Kevin, he's in love with himself.
Chorus:
Outro: as intro and fade.
I hope somebody likes the undertones out there...
Cheers....
Chris.
