My Special Brother

I have a little brother 
And his name is Lee 
I was only 2 years old 
When he joined our family 

As kids we got up to mischief 
Used to make each other laugh 
He'd get me into trouble with mum 
So I'd splash him in the bath 

We would pull stupid faces 
I'd whisper rude words in his ear 
Only things like knickers and bum 
But it was his laugh mum would hear 

He used to nick the biscuits 
Hide them in his slacks 
I used to get the blame for it 
And earned myself a smack 

I grew up and learned a lot 
but he just stayed the same 
He doesn't know how to read or write 
But he can spell his own name 

See my little brother is special 
In a child's mind yet a man 
He jabbers on and stutters 
Not many understand 

I know he still nicks biscuits 
He knows how I like my tea 
he knows I'll forgive him all his sins 
And I know he loves me 

I have a little brother 
And his name is Lee 
My little brother is special 
Especially to me
