Lew Germaine's Lookalike

I thought it was Lew Germaine's face I see But then I told myself this cannot be For Lew died seven or eight years ago Just one who looks like one I used to know. A tall thin man of six foot one or two With graying hair he looks so much like Lew And like Lew he read 'best bets' a horse racing guide They would look like brothers standing side by side. Had I not known that Lew had died to the man I'd have spoke For he had his Lookalike in the gray haired bloke I'd have shaken hands saying good to see you Lew And good to know that you still have a bet or two. Amazing what a Lookalike face can do It can bring back a long dead friend to you In another's face an old friend once again Studying the form guide I saw Lew Germaine. A Lookalike brought back old friend to me And lit up his picture in my memory And though Lew Germaine died many years ago I saw his face on one I did not know.
