TWENTY TINY FINGERS
Roy Bennett, Sid Tepper
As sung by Alma Cogan

CHORUS: Twenty tiny fingers, twenty tiny toes,
Two angel faces, each with a turned-up nose,
One looks like mommy, with a cute little curl on top,
And the other one's got a big bald spot exactly like his pop,
Pop, pop, pop-a-dop, pop, pop, pop-pop.

1. I put on the light in the middle of the night
And whispered, "Dear, let's go."
He grabbed a sock and called the doc.
He told me, "Don't be slow."
He got me there with time to spare
And then he sat on pins,
Until the doctor shook his hand
And told him, "You've got twins." CHORUS

2. We've got cribs and bottles and bibs,
All round our three-room flat,
No time to see what's on TV,
No room to swing a cat.
We're on the run; we're never done.
It's like a steeplechase.
Oh, they came in and they took over
Like they owned the place. CHORUS

3. Twice the laundry, twice the milk,
It's twice the baby clothes.
It's double this and double that.
Oh, how the money goes!
But Pa and me, we both agree,
When all is said and done,
We've got twice the blessings
And we've got twice the fun. CHORUS
