|
Tweedle-dee Dum and Tweedle-dee Dee |
|
They're throwing knives into the tree |
|
Two big bags of dead man's bones |
|
Got their noses to the grindstones |
|
Living in the Land of Nod |
|
Trustin' their fate to the hands of God |
|
They pass by so silently |
|
Tweedle-dee Dum and Tweedle-dee Dee |
|
Well, they're going to the country, they're gonna retire |
|
They're taking a streetcar named Desire |
|
Looking in the window at the pecan pie |
|
Lot of things they'd like they would never buy |
|
Neither one gonna turn and run |
|
They're making a voyage to the sun |
|
"His Master's voice is calling me," |
|
Says Tweedle-dee Dum to Tweedle-dee Dee |
|
Tweedle-dee Dee and Tweedle-dee Dum |
|
All that and more and then some |
|
They walk among the stately trees |
|
They know the secrets of the breeze |
|
Tweedle-dee Dum said to Tweedle-dee Dee |
|
"Your presence is obnoxious to me." |
|
They're like babies sittin' on a woman's knee |
|
Tweedle-dee Dum and Tweedle-dee Dee |
|
Well, the rain beating down on my window pane |
|
I got love for you and it's all in vain |
|
Brains in the pot, they're beginning to boil |
|
They're dripping with garlic and olive oil |
|
Tweedle-dee Dee, he's on his hands and his knees |
|
Saying, |
|
"Throw me somethin', Mister, please." |
|
"What's good for you is good for me," |
|
Says Tweedle-dee Dum to Tweedle-dee Dee |
|
Well, they're living in a happy harmony |
|
Tweedle-dee Dum and Tweedle-dee Dee |
|
They're one day older and a dollar short |
|
They've got a parade permit and a police escort |
|
They're lying low and they're makin' hay |
|
They seem determined to go all the way |
|
They run a brick and tile company |
|
Tweedle-dee Dum and Tweedle-dee Dee |
|
Well a childish dream is a deathless need |
|
And a noble truth is a sacred creed |
|
My pretty baby, she's lookin' around |
|
She's wearin' a multi-thousand dollar gown |
|
Tweedle-dee Dee is a lowdown, sorry old man |
|
Tweedle-dee Dum, he'll stab you where you stand |
|
"I've had too much of your company," |
|
Says, Tweedle-dee Dum to Tweedle-dee Dee |
