Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Now, I've a cousin called Kevin
He's sure to go to Heaven
Always spotless, clean and neat
As smooth as you'll get 'em
[Verse 2]
He's got a fur lines sheepskin jacket
My ma said they cost a packet
But she won't even let me explain
That me and Kevin we're just not the same
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
He's got a degree in economics
Maths, physics and bionics
He thinks that I'm a cabbage
'Cause I hate university challenge
[Verse 5]
Even at the age of ten
Smart boy Kevin was a smart boy then
He always beat me at Subbuteo
'Cause he flicked a kick
And I didn't know
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
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
