Lyrics[]
- I have a little brother, he's a pretty good friend
- I have a lot of fun when I play with him
- But he makes me mad and it breaks my heart
- When he goes and breaks my things apart
- Oh it's a worry when I get to my room
- At the end of the day and my toys are scattered and every thing's away
- So I try to tell him and I try to explain
- But he just goes and does it again
- Now tell me why does he have to lose them?
- I hear my toys callin' callin'!
- Break them or abuse them
- I hear my toys fallin' fallin'!
- Why does he have to use them at all?
- And will he get Better When He Grows Up?
- Oh I have a little brother and most of the time
- He's a good little guy, I like him just fine
- But he's a little too little and a lot too small
- And I don't think he listens at all
- Now tell me why does he have to lose them?
- I hear my toys callin' callin'!
- Break them or abuse them
- I hear my toys fallin' fallin'!
- Why does he have to use them at all?
- And will he get Better When He Grows Up?
- Will he be Better When He Grows Up?
- Now someday soon he'll be a big guy
- The best little brother, the apple of my eye
- He'll be a little more gentle and a lot more fun
- The kind of brother that can be the very best one
- And I won't care if he uses them all
- He'll be Better cause He's Grown Up
- So much Better cause He's Grown Up
- He'll be better cause He's Grown Up Tall
