my sister sees you most of all.
She stands each day to check and see
if she's as cute as she should be.
I watch her stand with comb in hand
as she combs each and every strand
Without a thought that on the wall
Mirror, Mirror won't help at all.
Perhaps I'm sounding rather mean
but she's the one who always preens.
All I do as I walk by
is quickly flip hair from my eye.
That's not the way it is with her...
She hooked on her, there is no cure.
Oh, Mirror, Mirror, I just saw
As I walked by, I'm getting tall.
And Mirror, Mirror, I just found
That I am rather muscle bound.
I'm looking great... but now I've seen
I'd look greater in faded jeans.
Next time Mom shops I'll go along
So she will get a brand that's strong.
And what's this I see oh, Mirror, Mirror?
A pimpled nose? What dread, what fear!
Perhaps I need a closer view
Mirror, Mirror, I need you.
But then I hear my sister call
To my mirror on the wall
“Mirror, Mirror, now I know
My brother just can't let you go.”
