My brother & I are buddies
And the jerk is so cute
He eats,sleeps & lives cars
And insists his Corvette is a beaut!

We care to share most things
And some we'd rather not
The temperature rises easily
We quarrel about a lot!

So when he got me late for work
And made me look like a flake
I left his Corvette in the yard
Obviously...by mistake!

The neighbours' kids 'admired' his car
Touching & probing it all day
The spotless love of my brother
Looked...i'd rather not say!

He charged upto me
Holding a little mirror
I ran to the window to see
In the yard, a big red terror!

His car was all but gone
Its pieces fell apart
My brother was baffled
But didn't know where to start!

Hey, it was an 'accident'
I just left it in the yard...
I was just joking man
But, his eyes turned hard!

After he had cried all night
I gave him a letter...
He was going to shred it
But, opened it...only to feel better!

In the picture stood two red cars
One tattered & one fine...
He ran to the garage & saw
His Corvette shining & divine...

He's never late again
You see we made a deal
I lay off his Corvette
& he doesn't spoil Ally McBeal!

We know where to stop
Even though we still fight
We don't take each other for granted
After that dreadful night!
