Story Behind The Song
I thought it'd be fun to write a song or two based on the sayings of Yogi Berra. Next up: "Please cut my pie into six pieces, babe, I'm not hungry enough to eat eight."

Lyrics
Last year we just about had the World Series won
When the other guys lucked out with some last minute runs
We repeated our intention to redeem our name
And we've been way out in front for most of this final game
But it's the bottom of the ninth and we're down by ten
It's like deja vu all over again, deja vu all over again
Deja vu means already seen
But was it in your real life or just in a dream?
There's something familiar about the state I'm in
It's like deja vu all over again, deja vu all over again
A solitary life appeared to be my fate
I couldn't make romance last past the first date
Then a pretty woman told me with her goodnight kiss
Baby this is gonna be the love you thought you would miss
Now she calls up and says she just wants to be friends
It's like deja vu all over again, deja vu all over again
Deja vu, she said it's not you it's me
I said don't worry baby I was meant to be free
And it's a Blockbuster evening alone in my den
It's like deja vu all over again, deja vu all over again
Some people claim that these strange little spells
Are the cosmic remains of our previous selves
I must have been ten thousand people or more
And they all keep reminding me that they've been here before
Solos
Picture yourself in some new incarnation
When out of the blue comes that peculiar sensation
You stop in your tracks and try to figure out how
You remember the moment that we're sharing right now
I was driving in my Thunderbird a little too fast
When my mind got diverted by a blast from the past
And I found out what happens when you stray off course
And immovable trees meet irresistible Fords
You can see the scene on the reruns when
They show "Deja Vu" all over again deja vu all over again
Deja vu, imagine my surprise
When my entire life passed in front of my eyes
When you go to notify my next of kin
Say it was deja vu all over again, deja vu all over again
There's something familiar about the state I'm in
It's like deja vu all over again, deja vu all over again
deja vu all over again, deja vu all over again
Deja vu
deja vu all over again, it's like
deja vu
deja vu all over again...
