Brothers and Sisters

on Hey, It's Franklin! (2000)

b>Bear

Hey, Franklin
I've got a sister
I hug her when she cries

Beaver

Then when she's feeling better
She hits him in the eye!

Bear

(Beaver!)

Goose

Hey, Franklin
I've got a brother
We like to play
Hide-and-seek!

Beaver

And if you're not too careful
He bonks you on the beak!

Goose

(Ow! Beaver!)

Franklin, Bear, Beaver and Goose

The wonderful thing about
Brothers and sisters
Sisters and brothers
Are a wonderful thing
The thing we like
About brothers and sisters

Beaver

(I can't think of anything!)

Bear

Hey, Franklin
If you get a brother
He'll think that your the best

Bear, Beaver and Goose

That he can look up to you
If he's sitting on your chest

Goose

Hey, Franklin
If you get a sister
She'll do the things you do

Bear, Beaver and Goose

But when you teach her painting
She'll end up painting you!

Chorus

Bear, Beaver and Franklin

We can't think of anything

Beaver

(Now, Franklin, everybody knows the first thing about babies is that they get all the attention.)
When they're born
They cuddle up close
They're clutchy and clingy
And that's why they're gross!

Goose

They squirm a lot

Bear

And scream a lot

Beaver

They think and drink

Bear

And stink a lot

Beaver

They cry

Goose

And wail

Bear, Beaver and Goose

And sometimes weep

Beaver

And the next thing you know
They're sound asleep
And then they'll sob

Bear

And always spit

Beaver

And beg

Bear, Beaver and Goose

And stomp
And throw a fit

Beaver

They make all kinds
Of noise and goo

Bear, Beaver and Goose

And then it gets all over you

Bear

They slurp

Beaver

And burp
And are always sucking

Bear

And clucking

Goose

And mucking

Bear, Beaver and Goose

And yucking and...

Franklin

(Hey! Wait a minute.)
When I get
A brother or sister
I'll be as happy
As can be
(Even if they cry, whine, slobber, bite, drink, stink, stomp, spit and goo)
They'll still be family

Franklin, Bear, Beaver and Goose

The wonderful thing about
Brothers and sisters
Sisters and brothers
Are a wonderful thing
The thing we like
About brothers and sisters

The wonderful thing about
Brothers and sisters
Sisters and brothers
Are a wonderful thing
The thing we like
About brothers and sisters

Franklin

(Is just about everything.)
