[Arlequin:] Of our parents each child is the son,
[Clochette:] Yet you had the same father and mother.
[Pierrot:] In number we're two- I am one,
[Arlequin:] And I, if you please am the other.
[Pierrot:] Our lives did together begin,
[Clochette:] A fact they've no reason to smother-
[Arlequin:] Moreover, each one is a twin.
[Pierrot:] And each of the twins is a brother.
[All:] Oh, pray to our/their history, hark!
Our/Their story is singular very,
And justifies well the remark,
Oh, derry! Oh, derry! Down derry!
[Pierrot:] Oh, pray to our history...
[Clochette:] Oh, pray to their history, hark!
Their story is singular very,
[All:] And justifies well the remark,
Oh, derry! Oh, derry! Down derry!
And justifies well the remark,
Oh, derry! Oh, derry! Down derry!

[Clochette:] They were born the same moment exact,
[Arlequin:] Which, at times, sets us wondering whether
[Pierrot:] That may not account for the fact
[Arlequin:] That our birthdays come always together.
[Pierrot:] We could walk when we grew to be men,
[Arlequin:] But when we were born we were carried,
[Clochette:] And each was a bachelor then,
For neither had ever been married.
[All:] Oh, pray to our/their history, hark!
Our/Their story is singular very,
And justifies well the remark,
Oh, derry! Oh, derry! Down derry!
[Pierrot:] Oh, pray to our history...
[Clochette:] Oh, pray to their history, hark!
Their story is singular very,
[All:] And justifies well the remark,
Oh, derry! Oh, derry! Down derry!
And justifies well the remark,
Oh, derry! Oh, derry! Down derry!

[Arlequin:] Astonishing questions occur-
[Clochette:] A solution perhaps, I may render?
[Arlequin:] If I had been changed to a her,
[Pierrot:] And I had been female in gender;
[Arlequin:] And both had been twins from our birth,
[Clochette:] But born of two different mothers,
[Arlequin:] Whatever relation on earth
[Pierrot:] Would each of us be to the other?
[All:] On that point we/they are still in the dark,
The query is singular, very,
And justifies quite the remark,
Oh derry! Oh derry! Down derry!
[Pierrot:] On that point we are still in...
[Clochette:] On that point they are still in...
[Arlequin:] On that point we are still in the dark,
The query is singular very,
[All:] And justifies well the remark,
Oh, derry! Oh, derry! Down derry!
And justifies well the remark,
Oh, derry! Oh, derry! Down derry!
