C

Twenty tiny fingers, twenty tiny toes,

G7 C C7

two angel faces, each with a turned up nose.

F C

One looks like Mommy, with a cute little curl on top,

G7

and the other ones got a big bald spot,

C F G C G C

exactly like his Pop Pop Pop, Pop a da, Pop Pop. Pop Pop.

1. I put on the light in the middle of the night

and whispered "Dear lets go!"

C D7 G

He grabbed his sock and called the Doc, He told me "Dont be slow !"

C C7 F

He got me there with time to spare and then he sat on pins

F C G C

until the doctor shook his hand and told him "You've got twins !"

+ CHORUS

C

2. We've got cribs and bottles and bibs, all round our three room flat,

C D7 G

no time to see what's on TV, no room to swing a cat.

C C7 F

We're on the run, we're never done, it's like a steeple-chase,

F C G C

oh, they came in and they took over like they owned the place.

+ CHORUS

(orig. moves up half a note to capo 2nd here)

C

3. Twice the laundry, twice the milk, it's twice the baby clothes,

C D7 G

it’s double this and double that, oh, how the money goes !

C C7 F

But Pa and me, we both agree, when all is said and done

F C G C

we've got twice the blessings and we've got twice the fun.

C

Twenty tiny fingers, twenty tiny toes,

G7 C C7

two angel faces, each with a turned up nose.

F C

One looks like Mommy, with a cute little curl on top,

G7

and the other ones got a big bald spot,

C F G

exactly like his Pop Pop Pop, Pop a da.
