But Not For Me

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.
