DOh CI Gcan’t play and I can’t sing
CBuCt mGy cousin has a Grey Cup Ring
And I’ve never even seen the thing
But I’m told it’s as big as a tire swing
And I’ve heard of all the prestige that it brings
My cousin has a Grey Cup Ring
Instrumental (Main Rift)
And at the family gatherings
He’s Grandma’s favorite living thing
She tugs upon her apron string
My cousin has a Grey Cup Ring (X2)

EmAnd Goh I know
I’m Ca wasGted(?) size
But CI turGn out aEmll right
I Gknow
That Ca coGuntry Cfarm Gmakes a throwing arm
And he can Cpaint the Gbarn
ReacCh the Gsmoke alarm
HeC’s got Gwinning charm
HeD’s mCade, made
(Go back to main Rift, play once before starting next verse)
Of all the things I’ll never see
I’d have to tell you honestly
That I’ve got a fairly good baseball swing
But my Cousin has a Grey Cup Ring
Of all the things I want in life
Well he’s got a car and a beard and a wife
And he’s not jealous of the way I sing
But I’m jealous of his Grey Cup Ring
I’m jealous of the prestige that it brings.

It paints a picture of someone reflecting on the achievements of others, like a cousin who possesses a Grey Cup ring, a symbol of a significant accomplishment. While acknowledging "all the things I'll never do," the song ultimately lands on a comforting note of self-acceptance, suggesting that despite these unreached heights, "I turn out all right." It’s a gentle reminder that different paths can lead to different kinds of fulfillment.
