Twenty Tiny Fingers

Alma Cogan


Oooooh! Twenty tiny fingers, twenty tiny toes
Two angel faces, each with a turned up nose
One looks like mummy, with a cute little curl on top
And the other one's got a big bald spot
Exactly like his pop, pop, pop,
Pop-a-dop, pop, pop,
Pop-pop.

She put on the light in the middle of the night
And whispered "Dear, let's go"
He grabbed a sock and called the Doc
He told him "Don't be slow"
I got her there with time to spare
And then I sat on pins
Until the Doctor shook his hand
And told him "You've got twins"

Oooooh! Twenty tiny fingers, twenty tiny toes
Two angel faces, each with a turned up nose
One looks like mummy, with a cute little curl on top
And the other one's got a big bald spot
Exactly like his pop, pop, pop,
Pop-a-dop, pop, pop,
Pop-pop.

We've got cribs and bottles and bibs
All round our three roomed flat
No time to see what's on TV
No room to hang your hat
We're on the run, we're never done
It's like a steeplechase
They came in and they took over
Like they owned the place

Oooooh! Twenty tiny fingers, twenty tiny toes
Two angel faces, each with a turned up nose
One looks like mummy, with a cute little curl on top
And the other one's got a big bald spot
Exactly like his pop, pop, pop,
Pop-a-dop, pop, pop,
Pop-pop.

It's twice the laundry, twice the milk
It's twice the baby clothes
It's double this and double that
Oh how the money goes
But now, you see, they both agree
When all is said and done
We've got twice the blessings
And we've got twice the fun

Oooooh! Twenty tiny fingers, twenty tiny toes
Two angel faces, each with a turned up nose
One looks like mummy, with a cute little curl on top
And the other one's got a big bald spot
The other one's got a big bald spot
Exactly like his -

Pop-pop.
