my cousin in milwaukee
Singer:fitzgerald, ella
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
her singing isn't operatic
what makes your heart get acrobatic
it sends the shivers up and down your spinal column
