Lletres: The Undertones. My Perfect Cousin.
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 private 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 private 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
He's sure to go to heaven
Always spotless, clean and neat
The smoothest you can get them
