Triplets (From "The Band Wagon")

Triplets - Fred Astaire/Nanette Fabray/India Adams/Jack Buchanan

The Triplets are Nanette Fabray

Jack Buchanan and Fred Astaire

Three little unexpected children

Simultaneously the doctor brought us

And you can see that we'll be

Three forever and a e i o

You wouldn't know how agonizing

Being triple can be

Each one is individually the victim

Of the clinical day e i o

Every summer we go away to Boden Boden Boden

Every winter we come back home to Walla Walla Walla

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

If one of us gets the measles

Another one gets the measles

Then all of us gets the measles

And mumps and 'flu

How I wish I had a gun

A widdle gun

It would be fun to shoot the other two

And be only one

Mrs Whipple Poofer loves to talk to

Mrs Hildendorfer of the fatal natal day

She had her silly Willy

Mrs Hudson Cooper loves to talk to

Mrs Golden Wasser

Of her major operations

When she had her twins

But when Mother comes along

She silences the others

She accomplished something

That is very rare in mothers

MGM has got a Leo

But Mama has got a trio

She is proud but says three is a crowd

Oh 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 apart

We eat the same kind of vittles

We drink the same kind of bottles

We sit in the same kind of high chair

High chair high chair

How I wish I had a gun

A widdle gun

It would be fun to shoot the other two

And be only one
