Court of the Two Sisters

歌詞

Met Yvette on a jet down to Metairie She was Tweedle Dum, I was Tweedle Dee Told her she’d be the only girl in the world for me Met Claire at a fair in Jackson Square True blue eyes and dark brown hair Promised her then and there we’d always be a pair It never crossed my mind all the time we dated By a twist of fate they’d be related In the court of the two sisters I’m guilty as sin The jury won’t acquit me from the trouble I’m in They’re different as can be But on one thing they agree In the court of the two sisters I’m convicted Imagine my surprise when they both got wise Being unadvised of their family ties Felt like I got shot between the eyes Stunned, I said: “I’ll be a son of a gun” Brother, look what mother nature’s done I had no case, I knew my race was run You could say their patience had been tried ‘Cause my appeals have been denied In the court of the two sisters I’m guilty as sin The jury won’t acquit me from the trouble I’m in They’re different as can be But on one thing they agree In the court of the two sisters I’m convicted Now I’ll never be ashamed to ask last names Where they pitch their tents or from whence they came I lacked one fact, it’s a crying shame Watched my game go up in flames In the court of the two sisters I’m guilty as sin The jury won’t acquit me from the trouble I’m in They’re different as can be But on one thing they agree In the court of the two sisters I’m convicted
