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 Baden Baden Baden

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 croup

How I wish I had a gun

A little gun

It would be fun to shoot the other two

And be only one!

Mrs Wifflepoofer loves to talk to Mrs Hildendorfer

Of the fatal natal day she had her silly Willy

Mrs Hassencooper loves to talk to Mrs Goldenwasser

Of her major operation 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

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

We eat the same kind of vittles

We drink the same kind of bottles

We sit in the same kind of highchair

Highchair highchair

Oh I wish I had a gun a little gun

It would be fun to shoot the other two

And be only one
