Verse 1  P.m. (mainly the whole song is played with a slight palm muting)
G5
My little baby brother used to play down on the floor
G5
But now he's not satisfied to do it anymore
C5
He's got a funny habit and I don't know why
G5 n.c.
He walks around the ceiling now, stepping on the flies


Chorus p.m.
C5                G5
Baby brother, baby brother
           C5
Well he learned to crawl
          D5
On the kitchen wall
         G5
Baby brother 


Verse 2 p.m.
G5
Well just the other day, well-a bless-a my soul
G5
I found him swimming round in the goldfish bowl
C5
Since nobody told him that he hadn't oughta
G5 n.c.
He swam around for hours, with his head underwater


Chorus p.m.
C5                G5
Baby brother, baby brother
          C5 no p.m.        
Well you may swim all you wish

But don't eat the fish

Baby brother

Where did we get him? I know you're gonna ask it

We found him on the porch in a crazy little basket

We think the world of you

Verse 4
         G5 n.c.
Well, I bought my baby brother a toy balloon

Instead of crying he climbed up on the fence

Started flapping his arms and we ain't seen him since

I can still see his face
