Print Version


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

Thats how I got like this



I got a cousin in milwaukee

Shes got a voice so squawky

And though shes tall and kind of gawky

Oh, how she gets the men



Her singing isnt operatic

Its got a lot of static

What makes your heart get acrobatic

Nine times out of ten



When she sings hot, you cant 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 Im a wow

You can thank my squawky cousin from milwaukee

Because she taught me how



(instrumental bridge)



When she sings hot, you cant 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 Im a wow

You can thank my squawky cousin from milwaukee

Because she taught me how
