Sisters, Sisters,
There were never such devoted sisters
Never had to have a chaperone, no sir
I'm here to keep my eye on her

Caring, sharing
Every little thing that we are wearing
When a certain gentleman arrived from Rome
She wore the dress and I stayed home

All kinds of weather, we stick together
The same in the rain or sun
Two different faces, but in tight places
We think and we act as one

Those who've seen us
Know that not a thing could come between us
Many men have tried to split us up
But no one can, nobody can

Lord help the mister
Who comes between me and my sister
And Lord help the sister
Who comes between me and my man


*****


Male Version: BROTHERS


Brothers, brothers
There were never such devoted brothers
When there comes a glamour girl who's nice and trim
He watches me and I watch him

Caring, sharing
Ev'ry little thing that we are wearing
When a certain signorina came from Rome
He wore the blue serge, I stayed home

All kinds of weather, we stick together
The same in the rain or sun
Two diff'rent faces, but in tight places
We think and we act as one

Those who've seen us
Know that not a thing could come between us
Many girls have tried to split us up
But no one shall

Lord help another
Who comes between me and my brother
And Lord help the brother
Who comes between and my gal

As sung by The Beverley Sisters:


Sisters, Sisters
There were never such devoted sisters
Never had to have a chaperone, no sir
We're here to keep our our eyes on her

Caring, sharing
Every little thing that we are wearing
When a certain gentleman arrived from Rome
She wore the dress and we stayed home

All kinds of weather, we cling together
The same in the rain and sun
Three different faces, but in tight places
We think and we act as one

Those who've seen us
Say that not a thing could come between us
Many men have tried to split us up
But no-one can, nobody can

Lord help the mister
Who comes between me and my sister
And Lord help the sister
Who comes between me and my man

Tearing, repairing,
Could those be my nylons you are wearing?
I buy nylons sheer and fine
They ladder theirs and then take mine

Ever-loving sisters, three sisters
There were never such devoted sisters, BUT!
Men have split the atom
Well why not we three?, why not we three?

Lord bless the mister
Who comes between me and my sister
And Lord help the sister
Who comes between me
Me, Me, Me
And my man
