Lyrics

Lillebror synes det er så trist
Fryktelig trist, sikkert og visst
Alle de andre har dratt avsted
Og uten at han fikk bli med
Men når de så kommer hjem igjen
Ja, hvem er det da som kan helt slippe skjenn
Det kan bare Lillebror og bare bare han
Det er det bare Lillebror, og bare han som kan
Kari og Mari er svært så kry
Frykteli kry, fordi de kan sy
Men triler en snelle på gulvet da
Er Lillebror nyttig å ha
Vips under sengen med veldig fart
Og uten at pompen blir sittende fast
Det kan bare Lillebror og bare bare han
Det er det bare Lillebror og bare han som kan
Pelle har laget seg hus av bar
Inni et snar
Fått lov av far
Der møttes guttene klokka tolv
Med klubbe og stor protokoll
Taket er lavt, de må stå på kne
Nei, ingen av dem kan stå rett opp og ned
Det kan bare Lillebror osb
Kjell han kan tegne så fint og flott
Fryktelig flott
Hytter og slott
Busser og biler med lasteplan
Men vet du hva Lillebror kan?
Jo han kan tegne en krussedull
Og tydelig see det er sau som har ull
Det kan bare Lillebror og bare, bare han
Det er det bare Lillebror og bare han som kan
En gang skal Lillebror selv bli stor'
Fryktelig stor
Større enn mor
Da skal ha greie hver minste grann
Av det som de kan alle mann
Lekser og leker av alle slag
Men dette som Lillebror greier i dag
Det kan bare Lillebror
Og bare, bare han
Det er det bare Lillebror
Og ingen flere som kan
Av det som de kan alle mann

Lyrics translation

Little brother thinks it's so sad
Terribly sad, sure and sure
All the others have gone astray
And without that he did join
But when they come home again
Yes, who is it then who can completely drop scolding
It can only little brother and only only he
That's what only little brother, and only he who can
Kari and Mari are very
Feareli kry, because they can sew
But then a reel rides on the floor
Is little brother useful to have
Vips under the bed with very speed
And without the pomp getting stuck
It can only little brother and only only he
That's what only little brother and only he can
Pelle has made himself house of bar
Inside a snar
Been allowed by Father
There the boys met at twelve
With mallet and large protocol
The ceiling is low, they must stand on their knees
No, none of them can stand straight up and down
It can only little brother osb
Kjell he can draw so nice and wonderful
Terribly great
Cottages and castles
Buses and cars with cargo plane
But do you know what little brother can?
Sure he can draw a krussedull
And clearly see there are sheep that have wool
It can only little brother and only, only he
That's what only little brother and only he can
Once the Little Brother himself will be big'
Terribly big
Bigger than mother
Then should have unravel every
Of what they can all man
Homework and toys of all kinds
But this as little brother manages today
It can only little brother
And only, only he
That's what only little brother
And no more that can
Of what they can all man
