Identical Twins
Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen Lyrics

Hello!
The twins introduce themselves.

We're twins, we're twins, yes sir
The twins confirm that they are siblings born at the same time.

I am me she is she
The twins clarify that they are two different people, just that they born together.

Except when I pretend I'm her
One twin states that they could pretend to be the other in some situations.

And when we switch
The twins sometimes switch places.

You can't tell which is which
It's hard to differentiate them when they switch places.

You don't know who you're talking to
People get confused with which twin they are interacting when they switch.

Because we're identical, 'dentical, 'dentical, identical twins!
The reason it's hard to differentiate them could be due to their identical features.

We look a lot alike
They share a lot of similarities in their facial appearance.

But we are not alike
Despite the similarities, the twins are actually different.

I'm loud!...I'm quiet
One twin is loud while the other is quiet.

She's serious...she's a riot
One twin is serious, while the other is humorous.

We're totally, totally
Both twins are completely

Different, different
unique and distinct from one another.

We read different stories
The twins read different books.

We watch different shows
The twins watch different TV series.

In our slightly different colored hair
They have slightly different hair colors, which can help them be distinguished.

We wear different bows
They even wear different kinds of hairbows as accessories.

We dance to different music
Music preference between the twins is also different.

We laugh at different jokes
They find different things funny.

Gosh, gosh
An expression of surprise.

It's like we're...two different folks
Both twins have completely different personalities.

Though we appear alike
Despite the looks, the twins are not the same person.

We're nowhere near alike
The traits, interests, preferences of both twins are not similar to each other's.

She's sweet...she's saucy
One twin is sweet while the other has a bit of an attitude.

What's that mean? You're bossy
The twins argue over who has a bossy personality.

Says you...it's true
The twins keep on arguing.

Is not!...Is too!
The twins are playful in their argument.

I am not a xerox
A reference that they are not a exact copy of each other.

I am not a clone
Another reference that they are unique, and not copied from one another.

A duplicate, a copycat
Another way of saying they are not a copy of each other.

A second scoop...on the ice cream cone
One twin describes being unique like having a second scoop of ice-cream.

Friends, pals, partners, chums
The artist lists words to tell that they have a close relationship.

But we're marching to different drums
Their personalities are so different that they pursue different things in life.

Two...two, totally...totally, utterly...utterly
The twins confirm that they are completely different from each other.

Opposite...opposite, totally...totally, different...different
They emphasize that they are the opposite of each other.

Identical twins!
Despite all the differences, they are still twins that have similar facial features.
