AOooooEh, deary me
My little brother's in his Abedroom smoking weed.

VERSE 1:

A E

Oooooh, deary me

My little brother's in his bedroom smoking weed.

I tell him he should get up 'cause it's nearly half past three

He can't be bothered 'cause he's high on TCH.

I ask him very nicely if he'd like a cup of tea

I can't even see him 'cause his room is so smokey.

Don't understand how one can watch so much TV,

My baby brother Alfie how I wish that you could see.

CHORUS:

D A

I only say it 'cause I care,

E A

So please can you stop pulling my hair?

D A

Now, now there's no need to swear,

E A

Please don't despair, my dear mon frere.

VERSE 2:

A E

Oooooh Alfie get up it's a brand new day

I just can't sit back and watch you waste your life away.

You need to get a job because the bills need to get paid

Get off your lazy ass, Alfie please use your brain.

Surely there's some walls out there that you can go and spray

I'm feeling guiltier for leading you astray.

Now how the hell do you ever expect that you'll get laid,

When all you do is stay in playing your computer games?

CHORUS:

D A

I only say it 'cause I care,

E A

So please can you stop pulling my hair?

D A

Now, now there's no need to swear,

E A

Please don't despair, my dear mon frere.

INSTRUMENTAL:

D A E A

VERSE 3:

A E

Oh little brother, please refrain from doing that.

I'm trying to help you out so can you stop being a twat.

It's time that you and I sit down and have a little chat,

And look me in the eyes, take off that stupid fitted cap.

CHORUS:

D A

I only say it 'cause I care,

E A

So please can you stop pulling my hair?

D A

Now, now there's no need to swear,

Please don't despair,

Please don't despair

My mon frere.
