Cousin Dupree Lyrics - The Definitive Collection - Steely Dan

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 

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

NEW SONG: Ed Sheeran - 'BLOW' Lyrics ft. Chris Stapleton & Bruno Mars 

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 

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 

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? 

Photos 

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 it's 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? 

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
