Chorus
My cousin Caruso
Say, kid, when he cut loose
Dat Op’ra House justa shaka like-a dis-a like dat
He’ mak’ dem all cry, “Bravo Gratsi”
When he sing Pagliacci
His voice so sad-a
Drive de ladies all mad-a
Oh! what’s de use
He’s my cousin Carus
Chorus
My cousin Caruso
Say, kid, when he cut loose
Dat Op’ra House justa shaka like-a dis-a like dat
He’ mak’ de ladies tear out de rat-a
When he sing Traviata
His voice so dream-a
Lak’-a peaches and cream-a
Oh! what’s de use
He’s my cousin Carus
