Verse 1 P.m. (mainly the whole song is played with a slight palm muting)
G5G5
My little baby brother used to play down on the floor

He walks around the ceiling now, stepping on the flies

Baby brother, baby brother

On the kitchen wall
     G5G5
Baby brother

Verse 2 p.m.
G5G5
Well just the other day, well-a bless-a my soul
G5G5
I found him swimming round in the goldfish bowl

Since nobody told him that he hadn't oughta

He swam around for hours, with his head underwater
