Chrissy my dear daughter true
i do so dearly love you
she is the eldest of my three
two younger brothers i gave to thee!
oh no this surely cant be!
when out popped brother two to see!
not another brother
what a bother
i thought one was enough
oh dear me!
she said to me and her dad
not another boy its so mad!
a sister i really wanted but i guess he will do
i still love em through and through
i am the eldest so i am in charge
so they have to behave
and i kept at large
all their naughty ways ive kept in hand
as on their bottoms they often land
Nick pinching me when mums not looking
and up to mischief Rob is always cooking!
now grown up are all we three
and so not often do i see
my two brothers as oft i wished
as they have other things on their dish
to ponder more so it is true
thank their sister here
whose feeling blue
cos on the telephone i do ring them up
whilst they are out or at sup
please brothers dear remember your sis
and please not let me hiss
at you to say hi
as the days go quickly by
would be lovely to hear from you
cos i really love you through and through
