There's a scandal in the neighbourhood

          C    F           Bb   F
and it's all about Julie Brown

             Bb         G
it seems a long lost cousin Jeremiah

      C      F         Bb
had lately arrived in town

  Bb                            G
Now when Julie's fella came to call

                           C       F      Bb  F
and saw them kissing, he started home at once

      Bb                  G
but Julie said,  I'm surprised at you

           C     F      Bb
dont go acting like a dunce

Bb                            G
Why he's a cousin of mine, a cousin of mine

        C                           Bb
youre liable for to see him here, any old time

                         G                C            F         Bb   F
He's a cousin of mine, a cousin of mine go on, he's a cousin of mine

Bb                                 G
Now when Julie had explained her relationship

          C    F             Bb  F
he said  Honey that maybe so

          Bb                      G
but that fella don't look like a thirty second cousin

          C
that I  met here a week ago

Bb                                    G
Julie smiled at him and joined her cousins side

              C     F       Bb  F
and as they slowly walked away

Bb                   G
He heard him ask  Who was the fella

          C         F   Bb  F
and he heard his Julie say

          Bb                G
He's a cousin of mine, a cousin of mine

       C            F             Bb
your liable for to see him here, any old time

                           G               C           F        Bb
Hes a cousin of mine, a cousin of mine, go on he's a cousin of mine

              G         C
Now Would I fool you,  Lo

          F       Bb
He's a cousin of mine
