Little Brother Lyrics

Songwriters: SEDAKA, NEIL/CODY, PHILIP

Though it hardly seems like yesterday it wasn't long ago
That little brother's bubble gum was stuck here
I remember mother's great surprise it wasn't me you know
He got into the oven on his own, I fear
Little brother
When you take the world by storm
Little brother
Keep your nose out of where it don't belong
Little brother

We were one big happy family for Sunday at the Zoo
The lions were asleep, the bears were restless
So I merely tried to hold him up to get a better view
He slipped out of my hands on the way down I guess

How can one so small 'cause all this trouble by himself?
You'd suspect that maybe he had help from someone else
Always seems like I get blamed for all of his mistakes
Ma, I don't see why we need a little brother after all
Little brother
When you take the world by storm
Little brother
Keep your nose out of where it don't belong
Little brother

Yo no tengo la paciencia
No lo quiero el niño
Este es un chico malo
Es un ablastino
Little brother
When you take the world by storm
Little brother
Keep your nose out of where it don't belong
Little brother
[Repeat and fade]
Little brother
Little brother
Little brother
Little brother
Little brother
Li-li-li-little brother...
