Carpenters - Christmas Portrait Lyrics
When we were teenagersWe went through a mean ageWe think we know just what you meanWe were typical siblingsWith plenty of quibblingsI think we can sing you this sceneBig brothers are supposed to be smartSo how come they act so dumb?Big brothers are supposed to have feelingsBut most of the time they're numbWhen we're looking for heroesWe usually find a clownWe're supposed to look up at themSo how come we're looking down?(*) big brother are supossed to be niceSo how come they act like nerds?Setting an awful exampleUsing x-rated words; they're really grossWe diagnosis them right for the local shrinkBig brothers,Big brothers are not as big as they thinkNag, 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 meWhat a bummer, i don't get no privacyKid sisters, who do you think baby-sits?Hey mister, don't you agree it's the pits?We deserve some kind of loving cupKid sisters, when ya gonna grow up?Oh yeah (yeah) wanna fight? (yeah)Repeat (*) and (**) at the same timeBut 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 beThe very best of friends!
