Lyrics for Cousin Dupree by Steely Dan:
| | | Artist: | Steely Dan |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Cousin Dupree | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 81 | | | | Lyrics: | 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
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
All I could say was ow-ow-ouch
[CHORUS:]
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
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
On Saturday night she walked in with her 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
[CHORUS]
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?
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
She said maybe its the skeevy look in your eyes
Or that your mind has turned to
applesauce
The dreary architecture of your soul
I said - but what is it exactly turns you
off?
[CHORUS | | | |
