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....
Chris.
