Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, oh deary me,
C
My little brother's in his bedroom smoking weed,
G
I tell him he should get up cos it's nearly half past three
C
He can't be bothered cos he's high on THC.
I ask him very nicely if he'd like a cup of tea,
I can't even see him cos his 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.
Chorus
F C
Oh I only say it cos I care,
G C
So please can you stop pulling my hair.
F C
Now, now there's no need to swear,
G C
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 yeah 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.
Chorus
Please don't despair
Please don't despair
Mon frere

| dont know what to think about those lyrics....hope this is not based on her real brother. the music reminds me of german "volksmusik" which makes it sound very funny. but this might just be me... | |

| BEST SONG MAYBE IN THE WHOLE WORLD... I love Lily Allen! She's really different from every other pop singer out there, she's got her very own sound that's completely different. And all her tunes are hilarious, sort of a bouncy pop that makes the song a little sarcastic. It's soooo much better than all the songs out there now, which is usually just emo whining, concieted hiphoppy pop, extreme screaming, or gross rap. LILY ALLEN IS MY NEW FAVORITE. | |

| I thinks it's like an open letter to her little bro giving advice and trying to point him in the right direction. I love this song, so upbeat and so catchy but with a meaning behind it. I love the line "Oh, little brother, please refrain from doing that I'm trying to help you out, so can you stop being a twat" how many times have i heard that from my big sis!!! Great song. | |

| Ah, yes, quite right. It's been a few years since I'd had a class over French, and it obviously didn't sink in well. I came back to the page to correct myself before someone else did... way to late... =P | |
