Lyrics:

Get yourself a cooler, lay yourself low
Coincidental murder with nothin' to show
With the judge, constipation will go to his head
And his wife's aggravation, you soon end up 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

They gotcha with the cocaine they found with your gun
No smoothy face lawyer to 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 story, same old song and dance

Fate comes a-knockin'
Doors start lockin'
Your old time connections
Change your direction
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 lowdown 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 story, same old song and dance
