	He's his family's pride and joy,
	     Dbm              E
	his mother's little golden boy.


Verse2:
	He's got a degree in economics, 
	maths, physics and bionics, 
	He thinks that I'm a cabbage,
	`cos I hate "University Challenge",
	Even at the age of ten, 
	Smart boy Kevin was a smart boy then, 
	He always beat me at "Subbuteo",
	`Cos he flicked to kick,
	and I didn't know.

Chorus

Verse3:

	His mother bought him a synthesizer, 
	got the Human League in to advise her,
	Now he's making lots of noise, 
	playing along with the Art school boys,
	Girls try to attract his attention,
	but what a shame, it's in vain,
	total rejection,
	he will never be left on the shelf 
	'cos Kevin, he's in love with himself.

Chorus:

Outro:  as intro and fade.


	I hope somebody likes the undertones out there...

	Cheers....

	Chris.
