Siblings Ballad

//This is a ballad about me and my brother,

I don’t believe it but we have the same mother!

It’s always the same when he does the crime,

I get the blame and have to do time.

//I get the blame when he does it,

I get the blame when it’s always him.

I get the blame and he’s a little...

//When he smashed the window with his ball,

‘It was Bethen mum’ he did call.

When mum comes running, she shouts with a boom,

Bethen Abraham get to your room!

//I get the blame when he does it,

I get the blame when it’s always him.

I get the blame and he’s a little...

//When he jumped on the couch and broke a spring,

Mum found out and my ears did ring!

It was Bethen mum, he pleaded his case,

I don’t know how he keeps a straight face!

//I get the blame when he does it,

I get the blame when it’s always him.

I get the blame and he’s a little...

//I got my own back to show him who’s boss,

This time mum was really cross.

I wrote on the wall ‘Bethen is fat’,

Not even mum thought I did that!

//He got the blame when it was me,

He got the blame when I did it.

He did the time but it should have been me!
