My Cousin In Milwaukee Lyrics - Ella Fitzgerald

Once I visited my cousin, in Milwaukee, USA 

She got boyfriends by the dozen, when she sang in a lowdown way 

She was a positive sensation 

The songs that she sang would never miss 

My cousin was my inspiration 

That's how I got like this 

I got a cousin in Milwaukee 

She's got a voice so squawky 

And though she's tall and kind of gawky 

Oh, how she gets the men

Can You Guess The Song By The Emojis? 

HOT SONG: Camila Cabello - 'Liar' - LYRICS 

LATEST SONG: Charlie Puth - 'Mother' - LYRICS 

Her singing isn't operatic 

It's got a lot of static 

What makes your heart get acrobatic 

Nine times out of ten 

When she sings hot, you can't be solemn 

It sends the shivers up and down your spinal column 

When she sings blue, the men shout, "What stuff!" 

That baby is hot stuff 

So if you like the way I sing songs, 

If you think that I'm a wow 

You can thank my squawky cousin from Milwaukee 

Because she taught me how 

(instrumental bridge) 

When she sings hot, you can't be solemn 

It sends the shivers up and down your spinal column 

When she sings blue, the men shout, "What stuff!" 

That baby is hot stuff 

So if you like the way I sing songs, 

If you think that I'm a wow 

You can thank my squawky cousin from Milwaukee 

Because she taught me how
