I'm Glad I Have a Brother is an original Barney song that first appeared in "If The Shoe Fits...".

Lyrics[]

My little/big brother, he's number one

When we're together, we have lots of fun

Sometimes he makes me mad

But I'm glad he's my brother

My brother, my brother

I'm glad I have a brother

My big brother, he's my best friend

I love when we're together playing pretend

Sometimes he makes me mad

But I'm glad he's my brother

My brother, my brother

I'm glad I have a brother

My big brother's a dinosaur

And when we play, I like to hear him roar

Sometimes he makes me mad

But I'm glad

He's my brother

My brother, my brother

I'm glad I have a brother

My brother, my brother

I'm glad I have a brother.

Notes[]

In "If The Shoe Fits...", the lyrics contained the word "little" and later appearances of the song would change it to "big".
In Barney Rocks! the final lines would repeat once more, with a slight change being "I'm glad I have just one brother".
In Happy Mad Silly Sad, the final line of the song would be "I'm glad that I'm your brother".

Trivia[]

According to Larry Baker, an assistant director for Barney & The Backyard Gang, Stephen Bates Baltes wrote "I'm Glad I Have a Brother" for his brother Ben Baltes, in which he would later play for him after he wrote it. Ben would eventually play the song for Stephen's memorial in New York City, New York.
