Oh, cousin Betty
Move like a shadow
Move like a shadow
And fetch me
It takes a salted hand
To fetch a pretty man
To get him down
To kiss me

There's a time and a place
For all your style and taste
The sick and the sad
Don't touch me

Lilac in hand, lilac in hand
Hesitation, hesitation
Lilac in hand, lilac in hand
Hesitation, hesitation

Oh, cousin Betty
Yeah, move like a shadow
Move like a shadow
And fetch me

There's a time and a place
For all your style and taste
The sick and the sad
Don't touch me


Lilac in hand, lilac in hand
Hesitation, hesitation
Lilac in hand, lilac in hand
Hesitation, hesitation


Lilac in hand
(Lilac in hand)
Lilac in hand
