Get yourself cooler

Lay yourself low

 Coincidental murder

 With nothing to show

 When the judge's constipation

Goes to his head

 And his wife's aggravation

 You're soon enough dead

 It's the same old story

 Same old song and dance, my friend

 It's the same old story

Same old song and dance, my friend

Gotcha with the cocaine

 They found with your gun

 No smooth face laywer

 Could get ya undone

 Say love ain't the same

 On the south side of town

 You could look

 But you ain't gonna find it around

It's the same old story

 Same old song and dance, my friend

 It's the same old story

Same old song and dance

Fate comes a-knockin'

Doors start lockin'

Your old time connection

Change your direction

You ain't gonna change it

Can't rearrange it

Can't stand the pain

 When it's all the same to you

My friend

When you're low down and dirty

 From walkin' the street

 With your old hurdy gurdy

No one to meet

 Say love ain't the same

 On the south side of town

 You could look

 But you ain't gonna find it around

It's the same old story

 Same old song and dance, my friend

 It's the same old story

Same old song and dance
