Lyrics
Tweedledum and Tweedledee
(singer #1) Some have said you're awfully rude
Starting up this unwinnable feud
If this keeps up, we're surely doomed
You can clearly see
We're Tweedledum and Tweedledee
(singer #2) Our row has gone on much too long
'Specially when you're in the wrong
You're mistaken, you're not too strong
Now we're finally free
We're Tweedledum and Tweedledee
Chorus (Both):
We have sucked out all the joy
Acting like Hatfield McCoy
Must this be our sorry fate?
Constantly we retaliate!
(singer #1) You could be a shining star
If you just weren't, who you are
Time again for us to spar
Why can't we agree?
We're Tweedledum and Tweedledee
(singer #2)Now it's time for me to vent
Your ideas--aren't worth a single cent
But I'll follow you, if you repent
From sea to shining sea
We're Tweedledum and Tweedledee
Chorus (Both):
We have sucked out all the joy
Acting like Hatfield McCoy
Must this be our sorry fate?
Constantly we retaliate!
Instrumental verse
Bridge (Both): Tweedledum has fallen down
He's opened up the gate
Tweedledee is right behind
They'll never separate
(Both) These two rivals--such a disgrace
But we'll put on a happy face
Both of us have found our place
For all eternity
We're Tweedledum and Tweedledee
