Baby Brother Lyrics by The White Stripes

Icky Thump

2007

Hey
[Verse 1]
My little baby brother used to play down on the floor
But now he's not satisfied to do it anymore
He's got a funny habit and i don't know why
He walks around the ceiling now, stepping on the flies
[Chorus]
Baby brother
Baby brother
Well, he learned to crawl on the kitchen wall
Baby brother
[Verse 2]
Well, just the other day, well-a bless-a my soul
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
[Chorus]
Baby brother
Baby brother
Well, you may swim unmissed, but don't eat the fish
Baby brother
[Verse 3]
Well, my little baby brother, he's a cute little cuss
But it's plain to see that he's not one of us
Where'd we get him? I know you're gonna ask it
We found him on the porch in a crazy little basket
[Chorus]
Baby brother, yeah
Baby brother
Although your hair is blue, I think the world of you
Baby brother
[Verse 4]
Well, I bought my baby brother a toy balloon
He let it get away and it floated toward the moon
Instead of crying, he climbed up on the fence
Started flapping his arms and we ain't seen him since
[Chorus]
Baby brother, yeah
Baby brother
Although you're out in outer space, I can still see your face
Baby brother
Although you're out in outer space, I can still see your face
Baby brother
