Same Old Same Old Lyrics by Dr. John

Dr. John’s Gumbo / In the Right Place

1973

[Intro: Instrumental]

[Ad lib]
She asked me what's happenin'
Hmmm, they said rain
Then you asked me what's goin' on
And I miss the time

[Verse]
Time is moving on
Pretty soon I'll be gone
I can't find the bread
Am I gonna have enough to eat
Got no strength to go on back to work tomorrow
Gotta make enough bread to buy the bread
To have enough strength to go on back to work another day
Yeah, anyway

Same old, same old, me
Same old stuff
Same old working on
Never enough
Full blooded, get down

Same old, same old, me
Same old stuff
Same old working on
Never enough
Full blooded, get down

[Ad lib]
She ask me what's happenin'
Hmm, they say rain
Then you asked me what's goin' on
And I miss the time
Same old, same old, me
Same old stuff
Same old workin' on
Never enough '
Full blooded, get down
