Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Same old moon, same old stars above
Same old couple pining, same old tale of love
Same game, still we must explain
The old, old story must be told
Now to get to their names, we’ll call the fellow Joe
We could call him Harry, but Joe rhymes with Flo
Flo, Joe, now their names we know
We’ll have them say
Chorus
Someone just like you, dear
Just like you will do, dear
When I tell you true, dear
Can’t you see?
Just your style, your size, dear
Just your smile, your eyes, dear
Someone just like you was meant for
Someone just like me
- Same old couple tarried, same old coming spring
Same old couple married, same old wedding ring
Flo, Joe, on thro’ life they go
In clover, now the story’s over
Ev’ry song and story has a happy two
Couldn’t do without them, ‘twould be something new
Same tale, never known to fail
When someone sighs
