Peering out of tiny eyes 
The grubby hands that gripped the rail 
Wiped the window clean of frost 
As the morning air laid on the latch 
 
A whistle awakened someone there 
Next door to the nursery just down the hall 
A strange new sound you never heard before 
A strange new sound that makes boys explore 
 
Tread neat so small those little feet 
Amid the morning his small heart beats 
So much excitement yesterday 
That must be rewarded must be displayed 
 
Large hands lift him through the air 
Excited eyes contain him there 
The eyes of those he loves and knows 
But what's this extra bed just here 
 
His puzzled head tipped to one side 
Amazement swims in those bright green eyes 
Glancing down upon this thing 
That make strange sounds, strange sounds that sing 
 
In those silent happy seconds 
That surround the sound of this event 
A parent smile is made in moments 
They have made for you a friend 
 
And all you ever learned from them 
Until you grew much older 
Did not compare with when they said 
This is your brand new brother 
This is your brand new brother 
This is your brand new brother
