The One Way

Lyrics

Here are things you've heard before Turned out daily by the score Pretty rhymes you know How gently on the ear They bring a smile or bring a tear Do re mi fa mi re do When we go a-marching Down thro' life and the Street O loud and free must the music be With [the] tunes to match the feet Now a softer cadence Now we change the key Just to stage a come-back To the main strain of our glee So if you'd go a-marching To fortune or to Fame Perhaps the safest way's to play the same old, same old game Tunes we've often heard before Snatches of a dozen more Jingles row on row When borne upon the ear They bring a smile or bring a blear Do re me fa me re do When we go a-marching Down the aisle or the Street O nice and sweet must the music bleat With [the] time to match the feet Now a softer cadence Now we change the key Just to stage a comeback To the nice key of our glee So if you'd go a-marching To Fortune or to Fame The safest way's to play the same old, same old game Hola! Huzza! Je ne sais pas!
