Poor man, Mister Hammersteen
He's a turn a green
Feel a very mean;
Talk a craz
tro' da funna hat,
Down at the Op'ra House Manhat!
He's a lose
wonderful Carus,
sing a lak' de deuce,
sing a da P's and Q's
His a mudd
she's my fadder's brud,
Dain mak' him ma cousin Carus.

My cousin Caruso say,
kid, when he cut loose,
Dat Op'ra House
just a shak a 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.

My cousin Caruso say,
kid, when he cut loose,
Dat Op'ra House

a like dat he mak' de ladies
tear out de rata
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.

One night,
someting in de mat'
Op'ra fall a flat,
Goodbye "Traviat"
Can't find Carus
da great a man,
up at the Metropolitan.
Ten million people get a sore
jump up with a roar,
pasha da building o'er
They yell Carus so want a come,
Grand Op'ra it goes on de bum.

My cousin Caruso say,
kid, when he cut loose,
Dat Op'ra House

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.

Oh! what's de use
