[Verse 1]
Well, I've kicked around a lot since high school
I've worked a lot of nowhere gigs
From keyboard man in a rock n' ska band
To haulin' boss crude in the big rigs
[Verse 2]
Now, I've come back home to plan my next move
From the comfort of my Aunt Faye's couch
When I see my little cousin Janine walk in
Well, all I could say was, "Ouch"
[Verse 3]
Honey, how you've grown like a rose
Well, we used to play when we were three
How about a kiss for your cousin Dupree?
How about a kiss for your cousin Dupree?
[Verse 4]
She turned my life into a living hell
In those little tops and tight capris
I pretended to be readin' the National Probe
As I was watchin' her wax her skis
[Verse 5]
On Saturday night, she walked in with a date
And backs him up against the wall
I tumbled off the couch and heard myself sing
In a voice I never knew I had before
[Verse 6]
Honey, how you've grown like a rose
Well, we used to play when we were three
How about a kiss for your cousin Dupree?
How about a kiss for your cousin Dupree?
[Verse 7]
I'll teach you everything I know
If you teach me how to do that dance
Life is short and quid pro quo
And what's so strange about a down-home family romance?
[Verse 8]
One night we're playin' gin by a cracklin' fire
And I decided to make my play
I said, "Babe, with my boyish charm and good looks"
"How can you stand it for one more day?"
[Verse 9]
She said that, "Maybe it's the skeevy look in your eyes
That your mind has turned to applesauce
The dreary architecture of your soul"
I said, "But what is it exactly turns you off?"
[Verse 10]
Honey, how you've grown like a rose
Well, we used to play when we were three
How about a kiss for your cousin Dupree?
How about a kiss for your cousin Dupree?
How about a kiss for your cousin Dupree?
How about a kiss for your cousin Dupree?
[Verse 11]
How about a kiss for your cousin Dupree?
How about a kiss for your cousin Dupree?
How about a kiss for your cousin Dupree?
How about a kiss for your cousin Dupree?
[Verse 12]
How about a kiss for your cousin Dupree?
How about a kiss for your cousin Dupree?
How about a kiss for your cousin Dupree?
How about a kiss for your cousin Dupree?
[Verse 13]
How about a kiss for your cousin Dupree?
How about a kiss for your cousin Dupree?
How about a kiss for your cousin Dupree?
How about a kiss for your cousin Dupree?
