Christmas Portrait (1978)

When we were teenagers



We went through a mean age



We think we know just what you mean



We were typical siblings



With plenty of quibblings



I think we can sing you this scene







Big brothers are supposed to be smart



So how come they act so dumb?



Big brothers are supposed to have feelings



But most of the time they're numb



When we're looking for heroes



We usually find a clown



We're supposed to look up at them



So how come we're looking down?







(*) big brother are supossed to be nice



So how come they act like nerds?



Setting an awful example



Using x-rated words; they're really gross



We diagnosis them right for the local shrink



Big brothers,



Big brothers are not as big as they think







Nag, nag, nag, nag!



Aren't they the worst? the worst!







(**) kid sisters, where do they get all the dumbness from?



She just won't leave alone, always tagging after me



What a bummer, i don't get no privacy



Kid sisters, who do you think baby-sits?



Hey mister, don't you agree it's the pits?



We deserve some kind of loving cup



Kid sisters, when ya gonna grow up?







Oh yeah (yeah) wanna fight? (yeah)



Repeat (*) and (**) at the same time



But that was yesterday! (yesterday)







And today (and today) we can say (we can say)



That as the number ends (as it ends)



We're what every sister and brother should hopefully be



The very best of friends!
