  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
  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,
  `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.

  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.
 as intro and fade.
  I hope somebody likes the undertones out there...
  Cheers....
