Berlin Irving Sisters (brothers) Lyrics

Sisters (brothers) Lyrics

[As sung in film:]
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 ev'ry 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 diff'rent faces, but in tight places, we think and we act as one
Uh huh

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

Sisters
Sisters
Sister, don't come between me and my man



[Male version, not in film:]
Brothers, brothers, there were never such devoted brothers
When there comes a glamor 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



[Sheet music version:]
Sisters, sisters, there were never such devoted sisters
Never had to have a chaperone, "No sir"
I'm there to keep my eye on her

Caring, sharing ev'ry 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 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 men have tried to split us up, but no one can
Lord help the mister who comes between me and my sister
And Lord help the sister who comes between and my man
