Lyrics:
{Bobby}Two of a kind, for your information, we're two of a kind
{Johnny} Two of a kind, it's my observation, we're two of a kind
{Bobby} Like peas in a pod
{Johnny} And birds of a feather
{Both} Alone or together, you'll find
{Both} That we are two-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo of a kind
{Johnny} What's so wrong thinkin' life is a song and reachin' for a star?
{Bobby} Who's to say if we're goin' the whole way? At least we got this far
{Johnny} Sharin' our lives, our vittles, and viands, we're two of an ilk
{Bobby} Say, what if we've got rare Chateaubriands or crackers and milk?
{Johnny} Makin' it plain
{Bobby} Explainin' it fully
{Both} We're similarly inclined, because we're two-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo of a
kind
{brief instrumental}
{Johnny} Two of a kind, when he's out of rhythm, I'm singin' off key
{last word IS sung off key}
{SPOKEN by Bobby} "I never heard you do that, John"
{Bobby} Hey, never you mind, 'cause I'm stickin' with 'im to C above C
{Johnny} They're easy for me
{Both} Oh, need we explain, when he warbles sweetly I'm flat and completely behind
{Both} Because we're two-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo of a kind
{Johnny} I get kicks when I meet the cute chicks who hang around this lad
{Bobby} And especially when they whisper to me "Hey, honey, who's your Dad?"
{Johnny} Two of a sort
{Bobby} Like two pomegranates from off the same tree
{Johnny} I'm with ya, sport, whatever you're plannin' its-a goes double with me
{SPOKEN by Bobby} "It's-a goes double with you, huh?"
{SPOKEN by Johnny} "Yeah"
{Bobby} I've got a terrible thought
{Johnny} Most frankly upsetting
{Both} And yet we are getting resigned
{Both} To being two-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo of a kind
{Johnny} We're two of a kind
{Both} We like workin' single or workin' in two's
{Bobby} Keep us in mind, give us a jingle, we got taps on our shoes
{SPOKEN by Johnny} "We'll dance!! "
{Both} We're both of us like the Tower Of Pisa
{Bobby} I'm a leaner like he's-a inclined
{Both} Because we're two-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo of a kind
{Both} Because we're two-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo of a kind
