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
