Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got a brother ya know
And I poke him and I squeeze him
And I kiss him and I tease him
So he knows that I love him so
And I got a sister, I got a sister
I got a sister ya know
And I badger and I bug her
So she knows that I love her so
And we say
Ooh, ooh, joke’s on you
I’m gonna get you back
Cuz when we’re old and grey, grown up someday
I’m gonna have your back
And we say
Ooh, ooh, joke’s on you
I’m gonna get you back
Cuz when we’re old and grey, grown up someday
I’m gonna have your back
Hey, I’ll tell you something else, I got a cousin
Well, I got a couple
Three- nine- ten- fifteen- seventy-two- plus one- carry the six- I mean
I got a lot of cousins
I guess, when you think about it, we’re all cousins
Ya know?
And I got a cousin, I got a cousin
I got a cousin, too
And we tickle and we tussle
And we bicker and we nuzzle
So they know that I love them too
And we say
Ooh, ooh, joke’s on you

Cuz when we’re old and grey, grown up someday
I’m gonna have your back
And we say
Ooh, ooh, joke’s on you

Cuz when we’re old and grey, grown up someday
I’m gonna have your back
We’ll be best friends soon
But stay out of my room
And you know I got your back
