Hello - My mom, vocalist Rebecca Parris, will be doing a two woman review within the next couple of months and I'm researching some potential songs about friendship. Does anyone know the lyrics of "Two Of A Kind" and would that be a good tune to go with? Heard a brief sound byte of Johnny Mercer and Bobby Darin doing it and it sounds like it would be perfect...is it more about friends or boyfriend/girlfriend?

Thanks,

Marla (makpjazz57@aol.com)

Folks, Just tried Hollywood Sheet Music and the gentleman I spoke with insisted they haven't had it for a long time...it is out of print. I didn't want to argue with him and I then called up Colony Records in NYC and they also said it was out of print. My mom wants to do this tune so badly and we can't find either the sheet music or the Billy May arrangement to purchase. Can anyone help??? Thanks so much. Please email me directly if you can at MAKPJAZZ57@aol.com

 Thanks, Marla

TWO OF A KIND words and music by Johnny Mercer and Bobby Darin 1960.

For educational and research purposes.

Two o a kind for your information we're Two of a Kind, Two of a Kind, it's my observation we're Two of a Ind-Peas in a pod, and birds of a feather-alone or together, you'll find that we are Two-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo- 00-oo-0-0 Of a Kind. What's so wrong, thinkin' life is a song and reachin' for a star" Who's to say if we'll go the whole way? At least we got this far! Sharing our lot-our victuals and viands, we're ywo of an ilk. What if we've got rare chat-eau-bri-ands or crackers and milk. -Making it plain, explaining it fully, we're aim-i-luh-luh-ly inclined; Because we're Two-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo, Of a kind!
