Until the Real Thing Comes Along

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"(It Will Have to Do) Until the Real Thing Comes Along" is a popular song first published in 1936.

According to one version of the original sheet music, the songwriting credits read: "Words and Music by Sammy Cahn, Saul Chaplin and L.E. Freeman".

Another version has, immediately below the title, the words: "with Piano Accordion". According to this version, the songwriting credits read: Words and Music by Mann Holiner, Alberta Nichols, Sammy Cahn, Saul Chaplin and L.E. Freeman.

Otherwise, graphically, the two versions are identical.

It should be noted that ASCAP lists all five as co-writers.
