[As sung in film:]
|
Sisters, sisters, there were never such devoted sisters
|
- Never had to have a chaperone, "No sir"
|
- I'm here to keep my eye on her
|
|
Caring, sharing ev'ry little thing that we are wearing
|
- When a certain gentleman arrived from Rome
|
- She wore the dress and I stayed home
|
|
All kinds of weather, we stick together, the same in the rain or sun
|
Two diff'rent faces, but in tight places, we think and we act as one
|
Uh huh
|
|
Those who've seen us know that not a thing could come between us
|
Many men have tried to split us up, but no one can
|
Lord help the mister who comes between me and my sister
|
And Lord help the sister who comes between me and my man
|
|
Sisters
|
Sisters
|
Sister, don't come between me and my man
|
|
[Male version, not in film:]
|
Brothers, brothers, there were never such devoted brothers
|
When there comes a glamor girl who's nice and trim
|
He watches me and I watch him
|
|
Caring, sharing, ev'ry little thing that we are wearing
|
When a certain signorina came from Rome
|
He wore the blue serge, I stayed home
|
|
All kinds of weather, we stick together, the same in the rain or sun
|
Two diff'rent faces, but in tight places, we think and we act as one
|
|
Those who've seen us know that not a thing could come between us
|
Many girls have tried to split us up, but no one shall
|
Lord help another who comes between me and my brother
|
And Lord help the brother who comes between me and my gal
|
|
