Well she's as sweet as maple sugar
and as cool as seaside air,
she got the kind of a body on her
to make a bald man tear his hair.
She got a de-gree in philosophy
and a voice like cherry cream,
and the way that she calls positions
well you know I gotta make the team.

Well she's my
second cousin
from dear old pappy's side,
and they say that lovin' her is out of line.
Well she's my
second cousin
from dear old pappy's side;
I'm gonna make my second cousin my first bride.

Well, I know that, I know that, I know that, I know that, know
Well, I know that she's my baby and my baby's gonna follow me home

Her mother says I'm crazy
and her father says beware.
Well the parson thinks that the idea stinks
but I, well, just don't care.
We're gonna catch ourselves an aeroplane,
we're gonna take off for the sky,
and we won't touch down on earth again 'til the next 4th of July.

Well she's my
second cousin
from dear old pappy's side,
and they say that lovin' her is out of line.
Well she's my
second cousin
from dear old pappy's side;
I'm gonna make my second cousin my first bride,
alright!
