Lyrics
1. Everything in life must always go by two
Dear, from the zoo to me and you
If pork and beans or Park and Tilford separate
Thru unkind fate they’re thru
That is why both you and I
Side by side should stand
Tho’ tomorrow may bring sorrow, it will fly
If we go hand in hand
CHORUS
Wherever you are, near, dear, or afar
Rain, shine, why should we make a fuss
Where there’s one, there’ll be two of us
Wherever you roam, there I’ll feel at home
Land or sea, just look around and you’ll find me
Wherever you are
2. It won’t matter, dear, if sometimes things go wrong
I’ll be there strong, to help along
Just lead the way and I will follow, you will see
That life will be, a song
When you smile the longest mile
Seems so bright and gay
And our troubles are like bubbles all the while
That’s why I always say
