Lyrics
- Everything was quiet and so peaceful
Till my pretty cousin came to town
Everything was quiet and so peaceful
Till she turned it upside down
Chorus:
All the boys are buzzin’
Since I introduced my cousin Louella
Count them by the dozen
As they swarm around my cousin Louella
The way they sigh when she walks by
You’d think she was a movie queen
They never saw such charm before
Not even on a movie screen
Like the bees they’re buzzin’
For some honey from my cousin Louella
Ev’ryone supposin’ he’ll be chosen
As the fortunate fella
But will they shout when they find out
My cousin will be leavin’ soon
Louella only came to town
To buy herself a pretty gown
For her honeymoon
- Never have I seen so much commotion
Never has the town been so upset
Everyone is offering devotion
To a girl they’ll never get
