My annoying brother likes to drive me crazy.There is no other who is that lazy.
He whines to Mom and Dad night and dayUntil he eventually gets his way.
What is a sister to doWhen he screams 'til he's blue?
There is no way to win,For he gets under your skin.
He does his best to kill all joy.Oh, how my brother does annoy!
