From the MGM Picture \”The Band Wagon\”
Music by Arthur Schwartz; Lyric by Howard Dietz
Performed by Nanette Fabray, Fred Astaire and Jack Buchanan
but we first heard it performed by John Lithgow (and like his performance better) on his CD:
Three little unexpected children
Simultaneously the doctor brought us in
you can see we’ll be three forever and
A E I O You wouldn’t know how agonising being triple can be
Each one is individually the victim of that clinical day (?)
…We do everything alike
We look alike
We dress alike
We walk alike
We talk alike
and what is more we hate each other very much
We hate our folks
We’re sick of jokes on what an art it is to tell us apart!
