Lyrics
Two By Two
Verse
Two by two there was an ark that filled
With couples feathered, furry, scaled and billed
As well as those pairs of the human kind
The key words double, twosome, binary, and duo seem to come to mind
Chorus
Adam/Eve, Old Abe and Sarah, Mary/Joseph, Liz/Zacharias
Jimmy/Gloria, John and Janie, see ? and you and me
So when you?re feeling sad and lonely, Just recall each other?s ?one and only?" is somewhere out there for eternity
Cats and dogs, together, shoes and socks
Peas and pods, suede/leather, time and clocks
Ham and eggs, salt/pepper, curds and whey
The magic number?s TWO, wanna fix a world that?s blue
It?s clear as night and day
Chorus
...Gayle and Pete?Just recall your ?one and only? is somewhere, ever after, And yours exclusively
Bridge
Your better half comes complete with her own tainted wings
Or your bright prince requires some days his neck to wring
But he?s your best friend and she?s your damsel to defend
It?s a fight to the finish to never diminish a trust that just will never end
(Sometimes) Life deals a blow, Cross o?er the snow, Into a land that?s glorious and grand
Though there?s a break, Soon o?er that lake, There?ll come the day when true love replays
Chorus
...Jimmy/Roselyn?Just recall your ?one and only? is somewhere, Oh, they?re out there for eternity
