Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum

Remember Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum
From the Alice In Wonderland Thing?
Did you know those boys loved Opera
Yep, those two could really sing

If you've never seen them in action
Well, it really is such a pity
I heard them at the Metropolitan Opera
You know, that place in New York City?

Did I mention, Alice is their manager?
She gets them engagments and things
But, that's pretty much all she does
Because Alice never ever sings

I was at one of their concerts
And I watched them perform in the rain
Tweedle Dee slipped and fell off the stage
They had to pick him up with a crane 

Figaro, figaro, figaro
Does anybody know what that means?
It sounds like somebody's all gassed up
From eatin' too many beans

I'm sure you have their latest CD
Or their picture on your favorite shirt
Course, I always get those things for free
That Alice is such a flirt

That's about all I can tell you now
Well, there is just one more thing
You'll know this story is over
When you hear the fat boys sing
