Laurel & Hardy Lyrics - Singles - Martha Wainwright

I wrote this song late last night about my brother and all his might 

And you would be so very kind to listen to these words I've written 

About the boy who seems quite smitten, but like no other you will find 

'Cause, baby, I know the reasons why we were unkind 

He's Laurel, he's Hardy, he's the life of the party 

And he's got great taste in furniture 

Wakes up at noon, plays the piano till he swoons, goes out for food 

'Cause, baby, I know the reasons why we were unkind 

But I gotta know why 

Three years before me, you came out and cried 

Boy, not a girl, where'd you get all that pride? 

You are so very thin and I've always wanted to fit into your pants 

Photogenic at first glance, but got something missing for romance 

We share a mother, we do and a daddy too 

Home on [unverified] avenue and a melancholy mood 

With a rhapsody in blue 

'Cause, baby, I know the reasons why we were unkind
