Well I've kicked around a lot since high school
I've worked a lot of nowhere gigs
From keyboard man in a rock'n ska band
To haulin' boss crude in the big rigs
Now I've come back home to plan my next move
From the comfort of my aunt Faye's couch
When I see my little cousin Janine walk in
All I could say was ow-ow-ouch


C  F/C  Bb/C                   C  F/C  Bb/C
              Honey how you've grown


        C  F/C  Bb/C
Like a rose

        Bb7sus4
Well we used to play

When we were three

She turned my life into a living hell
In those little tops and tight capris
I pretended to be readin' the national probe
As I was watchin' her wax her skis
On Saturday night she walked in with her date
And backs him up against the wall
I tumbled off the couch and heard myself sing
In a voice I never knew I had before

Eb13-5
I'll teach you everything I know


D7
If you teach me how to do that dance


Db13-5
Life is short and quid pro quo


    Gbmaj7    C7              Ebm7      Ab7
And what's so strange about a down-home family

One night we're playin' gin by a cracklin' fire
And I decided to make my play
I said babe with my boyish charm and good looks
How can you stand it for one more day
She said maybe it's the skeevy look in your eyes
Or that your mind has turned to applesauce



The dreary architecture of your soul
I said - but what is it exactly turns you off?
