[Verse 1]
Though it hardly seems like yesterday it wasn't long ago
That little brother's bubble gum was stuck here
I remember mother's great surprise it wasn't me you know
He got into the oven on his own, I fear

[Chorus]
Little brother, when you take the world by storm
Little brother, keep your nose out of where it don't belong
Little brother

[Verse 2]
We were one big happy family for Sunday at the zoo
The lions were asleep, the bears were restless
So, I merely tried to hold him up, to get a better view
He slipped out of my hands on the way down, I guess
How can one so small cause all this trouble by himself?
You'd suspect that maybe he had help from someone else
Always seems like I get blamed for all of his mistakes
Mom, I don't see why we need a little brother after all

[Chorus]
Little brother, when you take the world by storm
Little brother, keep your nose out of where it don't belong
Little brother
