Brothers For Life for Ethan and Kirby Nie, ages 8 and 3-1/2
Ethan has dark brown hair while Kirby is a bit more fair
But hey! They both have hair, those handsome brothers
Kirby likes red and blue while Ethan prefers black - and brown, too
They are a colorful two, this duo of brothers
Ethan’s in the front yard every night working karate moves so he can get them just right
Kirby observes from the front sidewalk and sketches the scene in colored chalk…
Refrain:
They’re brothers…This is their very own song
They’re brothers…They’ve got to get along
‘Cause they’re brothers now, and brothers for the rest of their lives
They’re brothers for life
Ethan really digs “Star Wars” while Kirby kicks back and watches “Cars”
But they both like to watch their movie stars, these wide-eyed brothers
Kirby likes ladybugs while Ethan is into stinkier bugs
But mosquitoes make them both say “UGH!” – those itchy itchy brothers
Kirby is quiet like he’s not even there - until he launches and lands in his beanbag chair
Where Ethan teaches him a new board game. A day with these two is never the same…
Bridge:
All brothers have their ups and downs…
Sometimes one brother makes the other hurt somehow
When brothers make this mistake, they get time out
But when it’s through, you know they’re gonna try to do the right thing now (Meow!)
Louie has jet black hair while Moe is just a bit more fair
But guess what? This feline pair is ALSO brothers!
One minute they want to wrestle and fight; next moment, they’re buddies snuggled up tight
A study in black and white, these feline brothers
Louie is bold, by the table he’ll beg; he’ll stand like a person on his strong hind legs
While Moe is mellow, he just likes to rest underneath the table in the chair he likes best
These cats are brothers (Refrain)
Ethan and Kirby are brothers (Refrain)
