 okay, I've only done one verse so as not to lose MY mind.
 I have retained most of the original lyrics as they simply cannot be
improved (?) upon.

Here's Laura who lives life on a tear 
Had all the men from here to there
But Maddy, although she's no fool -ah
Remained a virgin in Missoula.

What a Lynchian pair!
But they're cousins, identical cousins !
And you'll find
They laugh alike, they cry alike,
At times they even DIE  alike,
 You will lose your mind!
(and soul, and life, and Nielsen ratings)
When cousins are two of a kind!

My humble apologies to Patty Duke.
