Our Dear Brother Lyrics
Our Dear Brother
[JAMES]When our dear brother was a child
His heart was solid gold till he went bad and wild
He is the family's shame, but we have reconciled
With our dear brother
[CORONER JOHNSON, spoken]
Do you have any identification?
[JAMES]
He caused our mother such sad despair
He turned stark silver her purty auburn hair
Her last request to us was "Please, take care
Of your dear brother!"
[CORORNER JOHNSON, spoken]
That's very moving, but seriously, some official identification would really-
[CHARLES]
Remember how h? used to whittle?
[JAMES]
Oh, he lov?d to whittle wood!
[CHARLES]
And he would whistle while he whittled
[JAMES]
And we'd whistle right along!
[JAMES & CHARLES]
Whistling and whittling
Whittling and whistling
Three brothers all just whittling
And whistling a little song
[JAMES, spoken]
Oh, what's this? A billfold in my pocket? One...two...three...a whole stack of bills! Not sure what to do with any of this...
[CORONER JOHNSON]
Your dear brother, will wonders never cease
Has found his family, so he can rest in peace!
Now get him out of here, but first, sign this release
For your dear brother!
[CORONER JOHNSON, JAMES, and CHARLES]
Oooh...
[CORONER JOHNSON]
Brother!
[JAMES]
Brother!
[CHARLES]
Brother!
