Cousin Dupree Lyrics

Cover art for Cousin Dupree lyrics by Steely Dan

"In those little tops and tight capris I pretended to be readin' the National Probe As I was watchin' her wax her skis"

Why is she waxing her skis when she's wearing capris? Either she's preparing waaaay early, or she's a bit of a slut who doesn't know how to dress for winter weather. :p

@__midnightdreary I've wondered for quite some time if that phrase isn't a euphemism for... something else? (Though given she would have to be somewhere he could peep her, and she doesn't at all like him, probably not.) The problem, given that Dupree (as well as Aunt Faye and Janine) is a seriously Louisiana name, is that waxing literal skis is equally unlikely.
