Lyrics Ray Charles – Two Of A Kind

Like peas in a pod
Johnny
And birds of a feather
Both
Alone or together, you’ll find
Both
That we are two-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo of a kind
Johnny
What’s so wrong thinkin’ life is a song and reachin’ for a star?
Bobby
Who’s to say if we’re goin’ the whole way? At least we got this far
Johnny
Sharin’ our lives, our vittles, and viands, we’re two of an ilk
Bobby
Say, what if we’ve got rare Chateaubriands or crackers and milk?
Johnny
Makin’ it plain
Bobby
Explainin’ it fully
Both
We’re similarly inclined, because we’re two-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo of a
Kind

Brief Instrumental

Johnny
Two of a kind, when he’s out of rhythm, I’m singin’ off key
last word IS sung off key

SPOKEN by Bobby
«I never heard you do that, John»
Bobby
Hey, never you mind, ’cause I’m stickin’ with ‘im to C above C
Johnny
They’re easy for me
Both
Oh, need we explain, when he warbles sweetly I’m flat and completely behind
Both
Because we’re two-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo of a kind
Johnny
I get kicks when I meet the cute chicks who hang around this lad
Bobby
And especially when they whisper to me «Hey, honey, who’s your Dad?»
Johnny
Two of a sort
Bobby
Like two pomegranates from off the same tree
Johnny
I’m with ya, sport, whatever you’re plannin’ its-a goes double with me
SPOKEN by Bobby
«It’s-a goes double with you, huh?»
SPOKEN by Johnny
«Yeah»
Bobby
I’ve got a terrible thought
Johnny
Most frankly upsetting
Both
And yet we are getting resigned
Both
To being two-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo of a kind
Johnny
We’re two of a kind
Both
We like workin’ single or workin’ in two’s
Bobby
Keep us in mind, give us a jingle, we got taps on our shoes

Spoken by Johnny
«We’ll dance!! »
Both
We’re both of us like the Tower Of Pisa
Bobby
I’m a leaner like he’s-a inclined
Both
Because we’re two-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo of a kind
Both
Because we’re two-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo of a kind
