Lyrics=

Verse 1:
	
	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.
	He's got a fur lined sheepskin jacket, 
	My ma says they cost a packet,
	but she won't even let me explain,
	that me and Kevin, 
	we just look the same
Chorus:
	
	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.
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,
Break,

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, stopping on A.

Well hope you like it, I do, it's a simple song, but the
bassline in the chorus just makes it cool, but easy.


Hope y'all enjoy it!!!!!!!!!!!
