Lyrics[]
(Spoken)
Alex: I'm Alex.
Anne: I'm Anne.
Both: We're sister and brother.
Alex: When I like one thing…
Anne: I like the other.
Alex: They call us the Opposite Twins.
Anne: It's true.
Both: We will sing you a song about why they do.
(Sung)
We'll sing a song of opposites
And soon you all will see
Whenever things are opposite
They're different as can be
Anne: My room is always messy
Alex: And mine is always neat
Anne: My favorite foods are sour
Alex: And mine are always sweet
I love the summer when it's hot
Anne: I love winter's cold
Alex: My favorite toy is bright and new
Anne: And mine is very old
My favorite time is morning
Alex: I like it when it's night
I love it when it's really dark
Anne: I'm happy when it's light
I love it in the country
Alex: I'd rather live in town
Anne: I hung my picture right-side up
Alex: But mine is upside down
Both: We sang a song of opposites
And now we all agree
Whenever things are opposite
They're different as can be
Whenever things are opposite
They're different as can be
