The Carpenters - Christmas Portrait lyrics
Your rating:
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 Nagnagnagnag! Aren't they the worst? the worst! (**) kid sisterswhere do they get all the dumbness from? She just won't leave alonealways tagging after me What a bummerI don't get no privacy Kid sisterswho do you think baby-sits? Hey misterdon't you agree it's the pits? We deserve some kind of loving cup Kid sisterswhen 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!
