VERSE 1:
A E
Oooooh, deary me
A
My little brother's in his bedroom smoking weed.
E
I tell him he should get up 'cause it's nearly half past three
A
He can't be bothered 'cause he's high on TCH.
E
I ask him very nicely if he'd like a cup of tea
A
I can't even see him 'cause his room is so smokey.
E
Don't understand how one can watch so much TV,
A
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.

Oooooh Alfie get up it's a brand new day
A
I just can't sit back and watch you waste your life away.
E
You need to get a job because the bills need to get paid
A
Get off your lazy ass, Alfie please use your brain.
E
Surely there's some walls out there that you can go and spray
A
I'm feeling guiltier for leading you astray.
E
Now how the hell do you ever expect that you'll get laid,
A
When all you do is stay in playing your computer games?

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,
A
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,

My mon frere.
