Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Two of a kind, for your information
We're two of a kind
Two of a kind, it's my observation
We're two of a kind
[Verse 2]
Like peas in a pod (And birds of a feather)
Alone or together, you'll find that we are two of a kind
[Verse 3]
What's so wrong thinkin' life is a song
And reachin' for a star?
And who's to say if we'll go the whole way
At least we got this far
[Verse 4]
Sharin' our lot, our vittles and viands
We're two of an ilk
Say, what if we've got rare Chateaubriands
Or crackers and milk?
[Verse 5]
Makin' it plain
Explainin' it fully
We're simila-la-ly inclined
Because we're two of a kind
[Verse 6]
Two of a kind when he's out of rhythm
I'm singin' off key
(I never heard you do that, John)
Say, never you mind, 'cause I'm stickin' with him
To C above C
(Oh, easy for me)
[Verse 7]
Oh, need we explain when he warbles sweetly
I'm flat and completely behind
Because we're two of a kind
[Verse 8]
I get kicks when I meet the cute chicks
Who hang around this lad
And especially when they whisper to me
"Hey, honey, who's your dad?"
[Verse 9]
Two of a sort
Like two pomegranates from off the same tree
I'm with you, sport
Whatever you plan, it's-a goes double with me
(It's-a goes double with you, huh?)
Yeah
[Verse 10]
I got a terrible thought
Most frightfully upsetting
And yet we are getting resigned
To being two of a kind
[Verse 11]
We're two of a kind
We like workin' single or workin' in twos
Keep us in mind, give us a jingle
And we got taps on our shoes
(We'll dance)
[Verse 12]
We're both of us like the Tower of Pisa
I'm a lean-a like he's-a inclined
Because we're two of a kind
Because we're two of a kind
Written by: Bobby Darin, Johnny Mercer
