Grey Gardens - Peas in a Pod Lyrics

[Edie](spoken)
Oh my goodness. Is this on the bill? It's one of my favorites.

[Edith](spoken)
Edie. Please.

[Edie](spoken)
It's the very first song you ever taught me. We used to sing it together.

(sung)
Given our amazing similarities
We could be a plate of eggs and ham.
A pair of canaries,
I shadow you like Mary's lamb

[Edith](spoken)
I'm sorry, I'm in no mood-

[Edie](spoken)
For me, Mother, please? I'll sing the man's part.

(sung)
Physically, a few discreet disparities
Ought to keep us happy as...
Happy as...

[Edith]
...As a clam

[Edie]
Why fight it, lady?
Our star is in ascendance!
Make me your matey-

[Edith & Edie]
And I'll give you my independence

[Gould](spoken)
Well, come on, Edith, don't tell me you forgot the staging.

[Edith](spoken)
I didn't forget it, I just don't want to do it.

[Gould](spoken)
Just do it and for God's sake, smile.

[Edie]
We're a bowl of peaches and cream.

[Edith]
The Dodgers and Brooklyn

[Edie]
A permanent team.

[Edith]
India and Gandhi

[Edie]
Dagwood and his Blondie.

[Edith & Edie]
Two peas in a pod

[Edie]
We're an act like Crosby and Hope.

[Edith]
A rosy complexion and Ivory Soap.

[Edie]
Pip and Miss Estella

[Edith]
Hedda and Louella

[Edith & Edie]
Two peas in a pod.
We stick together
Like a cushion and pins.

[Edie]
Birds of a feather

[Edith]
I'd say "Siamese twins."

[Edith & Edie]
Ever-aftering where
We will build a cozy retreat
Which no nosy neighbors
Can see from the street.

[Edie]
What need we Manhattan?

[Edith]
Just us and a cat in-

[Edith & Edie]
A cottage on Cape Cod
For two, please - two peas in a pod.

[Gould](spoken)
Oh come on, Edith. Dance! A soft shoe! How can you resist?

[Edith](spoken)
I can't help myself! It's the music and I'm its hapless victim!

[Gould](spoken)
Aren't we all, kid, aren't we all?

[Edith & Edie]
If by our devotion
Nature gets the notion
To send a gift from God,
Send two please.

[Edie]
Say kootchie-koo.

[Edith & Edie]
Cuties-

[Edith]
-In pink and blue.

[Edith & Edie]
Two, please - two peas in a pod.
Two peas in a pod.
Two peas in a pod.
