Lyrics
Sisters, sisters
There were never such devoted sisters
Never had to have a chaperone “No sir”
I’m there 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 and 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 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
