But Not for Me

Lyrics

Old Man Sunshine, listen, you Never tell me dreams come true Just try it, and I'll start a riot Beatrice Fairfax don't you dare Ever tell me she will care I'm certain, It's the final curtain Don't want to hear from and cheerful Pollyannas Who tell me love will find a way, it's all bananas They're writing songs of love, but not for me A lucky star's above, but not for me With love to lead the way I found more clouds of gray Than any Russian play could guarantee I was a fool to fall, and get that way Hi ho! Alas! And also Lack a day! Although I can't dismiss The memory of her kiss I guess she's not for me It all began so well, but what an end This is the time a fella needs a friend When every happy plot Ends in a marriage knot And there's no knot for me
