[SG, BJ]  We got two letters in the middle of our name.

[BJ]  Two "l"'s in "Kelly".

[SG]  Two "d"'s are my game.

[BJ]  Kelly

[SG]  And Buddy.

[SG, BJ]  The message is this:

Two letters in the middle.  One sound is all there is.

Two letters in the middle.  One sound… is all there is.

Now, we got two letters in the middle of our name.

And if you like the first one, the other sounds the same.

When you see two letters,

[SG]  Like hers,

[BJ]  Or like his,

[SG, BJ]  Two letters in the middle.  One sound is all there is.

Two letters in the middle.  One sound… is all there is.

[SG]  Buddy

[BJ]  And Kelly,

[SG, BJ]  Like jelly and belly.

[BJ]  Kelly

[SG]  And Buddy,

[SG, BJ]  Like old fuddy-duddy.

Double "l" and double "d",

In the middle, as you see.

[SG]  Two letters.

[BJ]  Two letters.

[SG]  Two letters.

[BJ]  Yes, it is.

[SG]  It is.

[SG, BJ]  Two letters in the middle.  One sound is all there is.

Two letters in the middle.  One sound… is all there is.
