The Same Thing Over Again
Copyright, 1878, by Geo. Mollineux.

This world we inhabit each day rolls around-
The same thing over again;
The sun it comes up and then it goes down-
The same thing over again.
And my friends, if you'll search this wide world thro' and thro
'Twill prove that my statement is honest and true,
When I claim in the world you will find nothing new,
But the same thing over again.

Chorus.
The same thing over again,
The same thing over again;
The whole world round there will surely be found
The same thing over again.

Our parents before us I've often heard said
The same thing over again;
In time's light and changes have met, loved and wed,
The same thing over again.
They were happy and fortune smiled on them to boot,
And of their love's union, why we are the fruit,
They set an example and we followed suit, .
With thle same thing over again.-Chorus.

On the sofa you sit near some charming young miss-
The same thing over again;
From her ripe tempting lips you will steal a sly kiss-
The same thing over again.
You are feeling quite modest and sorely perplexed;
You're afraid to beg more for fear she will be vexed,
But she says, when you ask her, "what shall we do next? "
The same thing over again. - Chorus. *

You are taking a drink with some thoroughbred brick-
The same thing over again;
Your language in time gets exceedingly thick
From the same thing over again.
You start for your home very light in the head,
If you're married you creep up the stairs in a dread.
And you hear, as you stumble head first into bed,
The same thing over again.-Chorus.

Of course you're aware I've a sweet little wife-
The sane thing over again;
To me I assure you, she's dearer than life-
The same thing over again.
Last week she presented me with a young son,
Of happier daddies than I there's not one,
And I laughed when she said to me (merely in fun),
The same thing over again.-Chorus.
