what brothers do

Singer:confederate railroad

he said

hi my name is timmy and i'm pushin' five years old

i can count to this many

then i'll have to use my toes

i sure am glad to meet ya

let me show you stuff that only big boys know

now

nickels might be bigger but dimes are worth the most

santa's always in the mall

but he lives at the north pole

kid stick with me and you'll go far

'cause i'll show you the ropes

in all these years i've learned many things

how to walk

how to talk

and make believe

so follow me

notebook paper makes a dandy stealth fighter

and for fast get aways

we'll take my radio flyer

and there's indians in the woods

just off the porch out back

and if they attack

i'll help ya fight 'em

with sticks for guns

me and you

until we've won

'cause that's what brothers do

mama said that you're the reason her belly got so big

and i didn't believe her till she let me feel you kick

and i don't know how it happened

i'm just glad i have someone to play with

we'll play cops and robbers and secret agent man

and save the world from hostile aliens

with sticks for guns

me and you

until we've won

'cause that's what brothers do

that's what brothers do

he said

hi my name is timmy and i'm pushin' five years old
