Two's Company (Three Is Allowed) Songtext
von Gilbert O’Sullivan

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Ooh, sellotape is sticky
Now there′s a surprise
Next they'll tell you, you can see out of your eyes
Mummified mummies, daddy′s little girl
Had the operation then became an earl

Once you would have kissed her gently on the cheek
Now she kisses you beginning with your feet
Roles that are reversing, so misunderstood
Kids who think monogamy is a piece of wood

Ooh, but two's company, three is allowed
Two's company, three is allowed
Two′s company, three is allowed
Two′s company, three is allowed
Two's company, three is allowed


These days as a woman you are out of place
If you′re not a lesbian whose friends are gays
Anything is normal, normal is of course
Getting married after planning your divorce

Usually I don't go much at all on twins
Once you′ve seen the one you've seen them both I think
Mind you when they′re pretty, pretty as a peach
Who's to say that on the day with one of each

Ooh, two's company, three is allowed
Two′s company, three is allowed
Two′s company, three is allowed
Two's company, three is allowed
Three is allowed, oh

I look like I wanna look I wear what I like
It won′t be a suit and no it won't be a tie
A tie is a dead heat not a knot round your neck
Neck is what you do when (neck is what you do when)
Alone with your girlfriend

Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh


Ooh, but two′s company, three is allowed
Two's company, three is allowed
Two′s company, three is allowed
Two's company, three is allowed
Three is allowed, oh
Two's company, three is allowed
Two′s company, three is allowed

Two′s company, three is allowed
Two's company, three is allowed
Two′s company, three is allowed
Two's company, three is allowed
Two′s company, three is allowed
Two's company, three is allowed

Yeah, oh-oh-oh-oh
