All the boys are buzzing 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 a-buzzing for some
honey from my cousin Louella,
Everyone's supposin' he'd be
chosen as the fortunate fellow,
But will they shout when they
find out my cousin will be leaving soon.
Louella only came to town to get
herself a pretty gown for her honeymoon.
