Black Sheep

Why don't you listen to your mother
She's such a wise old girl
Rooted in her own world
She's always known what's best
And more than that she's simply built to last

Why can't you be more like your brother
He's such a handsome man
A model citizen
I see your father in him
It breaks my heart but warms me 'til the end

What can you say about the others
Such smart and simple men
Raised by a civil hand
Been 'round the whole wide world
So modest, witty, kind, and undisturbed

What can you say
It's a pleasure every day
Or at the very least a divergent from the boredom
Bubble and squeak
The lovely terpsichore was sweet
And I won't forget the sillage as she walked on

It must be hard now for your sister
She takes on so much stress
Enough for all the rest
But still stays amorous
A beauty, that one, so perfect and so blessed

So then
Why don't you trade me for another
Come now, relax my man
One must do the best they
They did the best they could
And that was that and we are here at last

Get out while you can
I know why they ran
I don't have a plan
Done with lesser evils, waiting for my man

Don't waste your time on them, they won't understand
