My Brother The Ape

	作曲 : They Might Be Giants
	Well, I got the invitation that you sent to everyone
	And I told you family picnics weren't exactly my idea of fun
	You replied that everyone but me said they were going to come
	Which is how you talked me into going to the reunion
	When you said everyone you really meant it
	My brother, the ape
	My brother, the ape
	I received the photos you sent and
	I don't regret that
	I wentOr the sight of everybody stiffly posing under one tent
	But I don't feel
	I belong and
	I keep wanting to escape
	And I fail to see the likeness between me and my brother the ape
	They all kept saying how much we look alike
	I don't think that we look alike at all
	But I'll admit that
	I look more like a chimp
	Than I look like my cousin the shrimp
	Or my distant kin the lichens or the snowy egret or the moss
	And I find it hard to recognize some relatives of ours
	Like the rotifer, the sycamore, iguanas and sea stars
	My brother, the ape
	My brother, the ape
	They say you don't get to choose your family
	But there's no other one to choose
	So that's why
	I'm writing this now
	And you can tell my sister the cow
	That I meant to thank her for the
	Gorgonzola
	And I'll allow that
	I've been acting like a stranger
	But you guys are all so strange
	Though I think of what
	I'm likeAnd
	I can see we're all the same
	So this time next year we'll meet at my place
	My brother, the ape
	My brother, the ape
