My Brother

Who was born hot on my heels
Who never cares how I might feel
Who tricked dad when he needed a meal
Jacob, my brother

Who makes me jealous 'cos he's older than me
Who's as hairy as can be
Who did i trick when I made dad's tea
Esau, my brother

Now I wish, I wish we could be friends
Now I wish, I wish we could be friends

Who does mum like best of all
Who has smooth skin and looks so cool
Who took my blessing and made me look a fool
Jacob, my brother

Who's so cross, I've had to leave home
Who won't care wherever I roam
Who'll be glad I've left him alone
Esau, my brother

Now I wish, I wish we could be friends
Now I wish, I wish we could be friends
