[02:15.75]You told us we were better just as if we didn't know it
[02:18.03]We're hip that we're the best, we're over all the rest
[02:19.92]We're in the modern school, we always play it cool, we never play the fool
[02:22.65]The honkers and the squeakers might be stealin' the show
[02:24.96]But we don't go for that, so while we blow

[02:45.42]Four brothers, four brothers, four brothers
[02:54.27]Although we sound like more
[02:54.81]Four brothers, four brothers, four brothers
[03:01.92]We're really only four
[03:03.99]We like to blow but we don't know how time can fly and how our cares pass away
[03:08.61]We wish the time would never go so we could take our time an' blow 'til judgement day
[03:14.82]Four brothers, four brothers, four brothers
[03:17.85]Now just one final word:
[03:20.82]Janis: i'd like to know you and i hope i don't forget you
[03:24.45]Tim: it's really a pleasure and i hope i don't look silly to you
[03:26.85]Alan: i'm hopin' the story that i told did not upset you
