[Jasper]
I am not myself these days
For all I know, I might be you
There's more than room enough for two
Inside my mind!

[Chairman]
I am likewise in a haze
Of who I am from scene to scene
What's more, we two--
We four, I mean!
Are in a bind!

[Jasper]
For is it I? Or is it me?

[Chairman]
And if I'm him? And if I'm he?
Each one of us might not agree on what to do

[Jasper]
And if I take opposing sides
Within myself then who divides up
What is right or wrong?

[Chairman]
I'll go along with you
[Both]
Ha'penny, one penny, tu'penny, thru'penny
Twelve to a shilling, twice that to a florin
And would you not fancy the currency foreign
To find the same face on both sides of the coin?

Bob is your uncle from pennies to guineas
The two-sided mint is the rule, not exception
And would you not quite feel quite the fool of deception
To find the same face on both sides of the coin?

[Chairman]
Odds or evens

[Jasper]
Heads or tails

[Chairman]
It's high or low

[Jasper]
Or black or white

[Chairman]
It's up or down
[Jasper]
Or left or right

[Both]
Or night or day!

[Chairman]
Nature seldom ever fails
To most obligingly provide
An undisclosed opposing side
To one's dismay

[Jasper]
There's shadows in the shining morn

[Chairman]
If there's a rose it bears a thorn

[Jasper]
You're as good as dead as soon as born

[Both]
And yet we smile!

[Chairman]
But luck's division is perverse
[Jasper]
It seems to work more in reverse

[Chairman]
If things are better, they'll be worse in just a while!

[Both]
Ha'penny, one penny, tu'penny, thru'penny
Twelve to a shilling, twice that to a florin
And would you not fancy the currency foreign
To find the same face on both sides of the coin?

Bob is your uncle from pennies to guineas
The two-sided mint is the rule, not exception
And would you not quite feel quite the fool of deception
To find the same face on both sides of the coin?

Both sides of the coin!
Hey!
