lyrics

Double Trouble
music and lyrics Alanna Egan

We are identical twins
with identical voices
when we sing

We have identical names
besides the middle syllable
they're exactly the same

We live in identical houses
with identical twin boyfriends
who'll make identical twin spouses

Yes she feels all my pain
but she also gets all my bruises and scars
so I spend all my days
falling from trees and jumping in front of cars

We are identical twins
with identical torsos
and identical limbs

We wear identical clothes
we have identical hairstyles
with bows that are identical but sometimes different colours

If you think that I'm taller than her
it's your own mistake
It's just the magic twin powers bestowed upon me
propelling me to levitate

If you think that I'm fatter than her
I admit it's true
My only consolation
is that I'm the one with bigger boobs

We are identical twins
we have identical thoughts
we say identical things

We are identical twins
we have identical thoughts
we say identical things

We're saving all our money
to go to Twinsville U.S.A.
Where everyone's a twin there
and you never over hear folks say

“Hey they must be identical twins!”
“No they're just sisters,
she's two years older I think.”

“No no really they, they gotta be identical twins
Look at their identical noses!
Check out their identical chins!”

“Well let's just go and ask them,
but first let's make a bet
fifty bucks says they are twins
“Quick let's shake on it.”

“Uh oh double trouble - people must say that to you all the time because you're exactly the same - my friend over there she thinks you're just sisters but I'm like nah they've gotta be twins!
And I heard you sing too - are you like those sexy Veronica Sister chicks? Is that who you think you are?”

And what's it like to be a twin?
I wish I had a clone
Have you ever
swapped boyfriends
played tricks on your teachers
or pretended to be the other on the phone?

“Yeah hi it's Alanna...........umm I'm not sure....ask Alicia she's the smarter one I think she got more oxygen in the womb.”

And I s'pose since you're identical twins
you've got the same D.N.A and shit
So would you give her a kidney
if she really needed it?

We are identical twins
we came from one egg
split into identical halves
and thank god that it split the whole way
or else we'd have to over hear folks say

“Oh my god look
they are Siamese twins
cojoined at the head
and the middle I think

Do you think they share the same heart?
And what about the brain?
Do they ever wish to be apart?
Do they drive the other insane?

And if they had surgery to separate them
would one have to die?
And if one's getting some with her lover
does the other just block her ears and close her eyes?

Yes thank god we
are just identical twins
with individual internal organs
and separate skins.
