My Perfect Cousin Lyrics - The Undertones

Now I've got a cousin called Kevin 

He's sure to go to heaven 

Always spotless, clean and neat 

The smoothest you can get them 

He's got a fur lined sheepskin jacket 

My ma said they cost a packet 

She won't even let me explain 

That me and Kevin were 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 the 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 synthesizer 

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 private joy 

His mother's little golden boy
