  • Oh, 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 THC
    I ask him very nicely if he'd like a cup of tea
    I can't even see you 'cause the 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

    Oh, I only say it 'cause I care
    So please can you stop pulling my hair
    Now, now there's no need to swear
    Please don't despair my dear, Mon frere

    Oh, 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 arse
    Alfie, please use your brain
    Surely there's some walls out there that you can go and spray
    I'm feeling guilty if I leading you astray
    Now, how the hell do you ever expect that you'll get laid
    When all you do is stay and play on your computer games?

    Oh, I only say it 'cause I care
    So please can you stop pulling my hair
    Now, now there's no need to swear
    Please don't despair my dear Mon frere

    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 had a little chat
    Just look me in the eyes take off that stupid fitted cap

    Oh, I only say it 'cause I care
    So please can you stop pulling my hair
    Now, now there's no need to swear

    Please don't despair
    Please don't despair

  • Benton Fraser from Toronto, OnHilarious song. I've only heard the radio edited version though. Something tells me a lot of Lily's songs are going to be profanity laced.
  • Theresa from Murfreesboro, TnThe video is hilarious - I wonder how her bro feels about this song?
  • Makaladawn from Gold River, NsI frikkin love this song and i love the puppet...hes my idel!!!!!! and if you dont like it you can suck this dick..---> qp
  • Heather from San Jose, CaThis song is fine, but i really think she has better songs other than this one.
  • Dave from Cardiff, WalesI've just listened to the "Alright Still" album for the first time, this is certainly one of the better songs on the album, like the use of the Puppet on a String sample, goes really well with the song
