Lyrics

Twenty Tiny Fingers

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

She put on the light in the middle of the night

The wet stuff's here let's go

I grabbed a sock, I called the Doc

He told me "Don't be slow"

I got down there with time to spare

And then I sat on pins

Until the doctor shook my hand

And told me "You've got twins"

Twenty tiny fingers

Twenty tiny toes

Two angel faces

Each with a turned up nose

One looks like the mummy

With the cutest little curl on top

The other one got a big a bald spot

Exactly like his pop

Pop, pop,

Pop, pop, pop

Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop

Oh, we got the bibs and the bottle and cribs

'Round our dear old flat

No time to see what's on TV

Nowhere to hang my hat

We won't go wrong, we are never done

It's like a steeple chase

Well they came in, and they took over

Like they own the place

Twenty tiny fingers

Twenty tiny toes

Two angel faces

Each with a turned up nose

One looks like the mummy

With the cutest little curl on top

The other one got a big a bald spot

Exactly like his pop

Pop, pop,

Pop, pop, pop

Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop

Twice the laundry, twice the bibs

Twice the baby-grows

Double this and double that

Oh, how the money goes

Mum and me we both agree

When all is said and done

We've got twice the headache

And we got double fun

Twenty tiny fingers

Twenty tiny toes

Two angel faces

With a turned up nose

One looks like the mummy

With the cutest little curl on top

The other one got a big a bald spot

Exactly like his pop

Pop, pop,

Pop, pop, pop

Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop
