Lyrics

You know that I’m looking for a sister for a lot of brothers of mine.
Some Fiji like the girl with whom the Fiji virtues combine.

The girl I had
who with her Fiji brothers meet.

I’m looking for a sister for a lot of brothers of mine

Oh brother, your problems are over
You’ll be an ogre if I had my way.
If I am wrong you can sue me
So come listen to me for I’m here to say.

Oh I’m looking for a sister for a lot of brothers of mine
(I’m looking for) some Fiji like the girl with whom the Fiji virtues combine.

The girl I had
who with her Fiji brothers meet.

I’m looking for a sister for a lot of brothers of mine!
