There once was a town along Pickelman’s Pike

Where all the kids looked exactly alike

They had the same color eyes and the same color hair

They even chose the same clothes to wear

It became very tough for their parents to tell

Which child was theirs and which one was…well

The kid down the block or the kid up the street

Each kid was identical…each kid that you’d meet

As you might imagine it was tough for the teachers

And difficult too for all of the preachers

If one kid was bad they ALL were in trouble

When two kids were there you always saw double

The whole town agreed a solution was needed

The school principal’s idea was the one that was heeded

. Each kid would wear a number…at school and in town

At least ’til a better solution was found

Of course the kids would switch numbers to confuse everyone

The parents were angry but the kids thought it fun

The kids knew who they were but weren’t too sure

The identity of anyone else anymore

So the whole town decided in the future there’d be

For each kid a unique look and personality

Kids tastes started changing…their manner and style

Each kid developed an individual smile

Soon the whole town decided it was better to be

One of a kind and just “one” of me

When everyone’s different everyone wins

But now what do we do with the Robinson twins?
