pretty accurate lyric update, Cuz DOO-pree
Jackofdays
Well I've kicked around a lot since high school
I've worked a lot of nowhere gigs
From keyboard man in a rockin' style band
to haulin' cross the [croon] in the big rigs
Now I 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
Well all I could say was "Ouch..."
Honey how you have grown
Like a rose
Well we used to play when we were three
How about a kiss for your cousin Dupree?
How about a kiss for your cousin Dupree?
She turned my life into a living hell
With those little [dots] and tight capris
I pretended to be reading the National Globe
I was watching her wax her skis
Saturday night she walks in with a date
And backs him up against the wall
I tumbled off the couch and heard myself say
In a voice I never knew I had before
Honey how you have grown
Like a rose
Well we used to play when we were three
How about a kiss for your cousin Dupree?
How about a kiss for your cousin Dupree?
I'd teach you everything I know
If you'd teach me how to do that dance
Life is short and quid pro quo
And what's so strange about a down-home family romance?
One night we're playing gin by a cracklin' fire
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 this creepy look in your eyes
That your mind has turned to applesauce;
The dreary architecture of your soul--"
I said, "But what is it exactly turns you off?"
Honey how you have grown
Like a rose
Well we used to play when we were three
How about a kiss for your cousin Dupree?
How about a kiss for your cousin Dupree?
unh... ah.... oo ah eee... how about a kiss for your cousin Dupree?
oo ah, oo ah ee... how about a kiss for your cousin Dupree?
(end)
There's your karma, ripe as peaches.

There are no words for how cool these lyrics are. Huzzah!
And dammit, I think I really like the song now. It eluded me at first
listen, but there it is.
