I wrote this song late last night 

About my brother and all his might 

And you would be so very kind 

To listen to these words I've written 

About the boy who seems quite smitten 

But like no other you will find 



Cause baby i know the reasons why we were unkind 



He's Laurel he's Hardy he's the life of the party 

And he's got great taste in furniture 

Wakes up at noon plays the piano 'til he swoons 

Goes out for food 



'Cause baby I know the reasons why we were unkind 

But i gotta know why 



Three years before me you came out and cried 

Boy not a girl where'd you get all that pride 

You are so very thin and I've always wanted to fit into your pants 

Photogenic at first glance but got something missing for romance 



We share a mother we do and a daddy too 

Home on querbes avenue and a melancholy mood 

With a rhapsody in blue 



Cause baby I know the reasons why we were unkind 



First born son, son of a gun 

I love you even more than when the song was begun 

First born son, son of a gun 

I love you even more than when the song was begun
