When I was a little kid
and sweet as I could be
My twin brother's name was said
and he looked just like me
He got me in the tightest squeeze
I was ever in before
He stuffed that pipe with
lamb burger cheese
and he headed for the door.
Daddy took out af ter him,
but he called me instead.
He didn't know the difference,
but I did.
Then one time he put a pack
right in the teacher's chair.
Just as soon as she came back,
she saw him standing there.
My twin brother walked away,
he sat down in my place
I remember till my dying day
the look on a teacher's face
Then the teacher colored me,
but she was after said
She didn't know the difference,
but I did
And a few years later on
I fell in love, you see,
With the sweetest little girl I ever known,
She said she'd marry me.
And so we set the wedding day,
But when it rolled around,
It really makes me sad to say
That I was out of town.
My twin brother courted her
And married her, and still
She didn't know the difference,
but I did
So I go to see her now
when brother's out of sight
I even fix the jobs
to how he has to work at night
And every time I take her out
or hold her close to me
She wonders what it's all about,
why I laugh so much, you see
I play my cards close to my vest
like brother used to do
She doesn't know the difference, but I do
