My Cousin In Milwaukee

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 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 --- My Cousin in Milwaukee - Ella Fitzgerald and Nelson Riddle & His Orchestra
