Brothers Lyrics - Randy Newman

Hey, Bobby 

Why are you standing in the shadows? 

Come over by the fire 

I want to have a drink with you 

This is our house now 

So let's act like we belong here 

Considering some of those who've lived here 

Maybe we do 

I got some Michter's Irish whiskey 

From Mr. George Preston Marshall 

The man who's owned the Redskins 

Since the days of old 

And he runs them like a plantation 

Like a plantation, Jack? 

Like a plantation, Bob 

For never has a black man 

Worn the burgundy and gold 

Does he know it's the capital of the country, Jack? 

Does he know that it's 1961? 

Does he know that the Redskins 

Need a halfback, Bobby Boy 

Who can run?

There's a man to see you in the office, Jack 

Bob, I'm going home, I've had a rotten day 

You are home, Jack 

Hmmm 

Well, I still don't want to see him 

I think you should see him anyway 

It's about Cuba, Jack 

The Russians are pouring in 

And it's 90 miles away 

This man has a plan to overthrow the government there 

With a very small expeditionary force 

They'll land on the beaches in the dead of night 

So no one will be at the beach 

Right, Bob? 

That's right, Jack 

Photos 

The people will join them 

They'll march on Havana 

And our planes will fly support 

Ah but they won't, Bob 

We'll have nothing to do with this 

But wait 

Wait a minute, Bobby Boy 

There's a woman there in Cuba 

Whom I love 

Oh no, Jack 

Not in a bad way, but a good way 

Do you know any Cuban music, Bob? 

Does 'I Love Lucy' count? 

Of course it does 

But the one whom I love is 

Celia Cruz 

Celia Cruz, Celia Cruz 

The greatest singer in the world today 

If she's there and wants to get away 

Then bring her here to the USA 

I'll see the man with the plan 

And I'll be the first to shake him by the hand 

And I'll be the first to give him the news 

We're gonna save Celia Cruz 

Celia Cruz, Celia Cruz 

Celia Cruz, Celia Cruz 

Sing along, Bobby 

Celia Cruz, Celia Cruz 

Sing harmony, Bob 

I always sing harmony, Jack 

I know you do 

I'm excited Bob 

It's just like the Rough Riders 

You excited? 

Dad was right about you, Bobby 

Big office, isn't it, Bobby?
