Most people forget Hussein, but he thinks it's important
[Chorus 1: Lin-Manuel Miranda]
We didn't start the brothers
They're from West Virginia
Now they're always in ya
We didn't start the brothers
No we didn't light it
So we Candlenight it
[Verse 3: Lin-Manuel Miranda & Matt Doyle]

Staxx Soap, Time Belt, Warrior Cats, Bramblepelt
Finally emerging like the freed Chilean Miners
[Chorus 2: Lin-Manuel Miranda]
We didn't start the brothers
They're our patron saints
Who plug Extreme Restraints
We didn't start the brothers
No they're very nice
But it's bad advice
[Verse 5: Lin-Manuel Miranda]
Glass Shark, blast my cache, Olive Garden Golden Pass
Flapjack Nickelsack, Which One Vapes?
Roker Animosity, Garfield Monstrosity
Quantum Leap, Bakula, release the Gooshie tapes
Future McDonald's Pizza, Sydnee, Rachel, Teresa
Watch them play every day
Pack your bags and move away
[Chorus 3: Lin-Manuel Miranda]
We didn't start the brothers
But they know we all watch
Like a Haunted Doll Watch
We didn't start the brothers
But we'll make some noise
For the McElroys
[Outro: Lin-Manuel Miranda]
It's familiar
But not too familiar
But not too not familiar
It's a new craze
