Lyrics

Oh, 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 him cause his room is so smoky
Don't understand how one can watch so much tv
My baby brother alfie, how I wish that you could see

Chorus
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 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

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 sat down and had a little chat
And look me in the eyes, take off that stupid fitted cap

I only say it cos 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
My mon frere
