My Cousin in Milwaukee Sözleri

Once I visited my cousin, in Milwaukee, USA

She got boyfriends by the dozen, when she sang in a lowdown way

She was a positive sensation

The songs that she sang would never miss

My cousin was my inspiration

That's how I got like this

I got a cousin in Milwaukee

She's got a voice so squawky

And though she's tall and kind of gawky

Oh, how she gets the men

Her singing isn't operatic

It's got a lot of static

What makes your heart get acrobatic

Nine times out of ten

When she sings hot, you can't be solemn

It sends the shivers up and down your spinal column

When she sings blue, the men shout, "What stuff!"

That baby is hot stuff

So if you like the way I sing songs,

If you think that I'm a wow

You can thank my squawky cousin from Milwaukee

Because she taught me how

(instrumental bridge)

When she sings hot, you can't be solemn

It sends the shivers up and down your spinal column

When she sings blue, the men shout, "What stuff!"

That baby is hot stuff

So if you like the way I sing songs,

If you think that I'm a wow

You can thank my squawky cousin from Milwaukee

Because she taught me how
