Sibling Rivalry Lyrics

Sibling Rivalry lyrics

Lisa &  Our life is so confusing,

Bart:   No reason and no rhyme.

        We've got this funny feeling,

        Getting old before our time.



        Gimme what ya got,

        Gimme what ya got,

        I know what ya got,

        Gimme what ya got.



Lisa:   What kind of love brings such confusion?

Bart:   Shuts out the sun and kills all glee.

Lisa &  What are these blues we're here to tell you?

Bart:   It's sibling rivalry.



        I don't wanna share,

        Wanna make you nuts,

        Gimme what ya got,

        Gotta have it all.



Bart:   Sometimes I see her doing homework,

Lisa:   I'm working hard all by myself.

Bart:   And who can stand a happy sister.

Lisa:   He hates I don't require help.



Back:   Ooh.  Ooh.  Ooh.



Bart:   I put a spider on her shoulder.

(Back:  Oh, ya, wooh.)

Lisa:   I'm not aware that it is fake.

(Back:  Ooh, ooh, ooh.)

Bart:   I ask her what the heck that thing is.

(Back:  Eeww!)

Lisa:   I turn and start; I scream and shake.

(Back:  Scream and shake!)



Bart:   Whhhhhhhy does it feel so good?

        My dear old fun?

        I know it's wrong to feel so mean,

        But, you shoulda heard her scream.



(Back:  Ooh ooh, ooh)

Bart:   Ha ha ha haa.  Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

(Back:  Ooh ooh, ooh)

Bart:   Aah, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

(Back:  Ooh ooh, ooh)

Bart:   Ha, hahahaha.  Ha haa.

(Back:  Ooh ooh, ooh)

Bart:   Ha ha ha ha ha ha.  Ha hahahaha.



Lisa:   I am not blameless in this equation.

Bart:   She likes to talk over my head.

Lisa:   Poor Bart, his trials and tribulations.

Back:                                 Poor Bart.

Bart:   Before a test she makes me dread.



Back:   Ooh, ooh, ooh.



Lisa:   'Cause I predict that he will fail.

Back:                                  Gonna flunk, woo-ooh.

Bart:   I chase her down when she is right.

Back:                                  Ooh, ooh, ooh.

Lisa:   When I refuse to just turn tail,

Back:                                  Hold your ground Lisa.

L & B:  We have our most outstanding fights!

Back:                                  Outstanding fights!



Lisa:   What kind of love brings such contusions?

Bart:   All these band-aids the world can see.

Lisa &  What is this shame we're here to tell you?

Bart:   It's sibling rivalry.



Lisa &  A brother and a sister,

Bart:   We're trying not to boast.

        But we can't help believing,

        That we'll always be this close.



Back:   Siblings find it oh so hard,

        When it comes to giving,

        Let them once try singing

        Background for a living.



Lisa &  A brother and a sister,

Bart:   We will always be this close.



Bart:   Let go my hand, Lisa.
