[Verse 1]
C              G
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, oh deary me, 

                           C
My little brother's in his bedroom smoking weed, 

                                        G
I tell him he should get up 'cause it's nearly half past three 

                                 C
He can't be bothered 'cause he's high on THC.

                              G
I ask him very nicely if he'd like a cup of tea, 

                                C
I can't even see him 'cause his room is so smoky,

                              G
Don't understand how one can watch so much TV, 

                              C
My baby brother Alfie how I wish that you could see.
[Chorus]
F              C
I only say it 'cause I care, 

G                       C
So please, can you stop pulling my hair? 

F                    C
Now, now, there's no need to swear 

G                     C
Please don't despair, my dear mon frère.
[Verse 2]
C                  G
Ohh Alfie, get up, it's a brand new day

                                    C
I just can't sit back and watch you waste your life away

                                  G
You need to get a job because the bills need to get paid

                              C 
Get off your lazy arse, Alfie, please use your brain

                                    G
Surely there's some walls out there that you can go and spray

                                   C
I'm feeling guilty for leading you astray

                             G
Now how the hell do you ever expect that you'll get laid

                                   C
When all you do is stay and play on your computer games?
[Chorus]
F              C
I only say it 'cause I care, 

G                       C
So please, can you stop pulling my hair? 

F                    C
Now, now, there's no need to swear 

G                     C
Please don't despair, my dear mon frère.
[Bridge]
C                             G
Oh, little brother, please refrain from doing that

                                  C
I'm tryna help you out so can you stop being a twat

                                      G
It's time that you and I sat down and had a little chat

                                        C
And look me in the eyes, take off that stupid fitted cap
[Chorus]
F              C
I only say it 'cause I care, 

G                       C
So please, can you stop pulling my hair? 

F                    C
Now, now, there's no need to swear 

G
Please don't despair, 

G
Please don't despair

    C
Mon frère
