Where does the phrase “All the same and…” come from? How does it sound in full?

The phrase "All the same and..." is derived from the traditional English folk song "All the Same and One". This song is believed to have originated in the 1700s and is still sung in some parts of England today. In its full version, the phrase reads:

"All the same and one, all the same and two,

All the same and three, all the same and four,

All the same and five, all the same and six,

All the same and seven, all the same and eight,

All the same and nine, all the same and ten,

All the same and eleven, all the same and twelve,

All the same and thirteen, all the same and fourteen,

All the same and fifteen, all the same and sixteen,

All the same and seventeen, all the same and eighteen,

All the same and nineteen, all the same and twenty,

All the same and twenty-one, all the same and twenty-two,

All the same and twenty-three, all the same and twenty-four,

All the same and twenty-five, all the same and twenty-six,

All the same and twenty-seven, all the same and twenty-eight,

All the same and twenty-nine, all the same and thirty."

The phrase "All the same and..." is used to refer to a situation where everyone is involved in the same activity, or is facing the same situation. It is often used as a way to express solidarity and unity, as the phrase implies that no matter how many people are involved, they are all in the same boat. It is also used to refer to a situation where everyone is on the same page, as in the phrase "We're all the same and we all agree". The phrase can also be used to refer to a situation where everyone is equal, as in the phrase "We're all the same and we all have the same rights".
