Theyre writing songs of love - but not for me
A lucky stars above - but not for me
With love to lead the way
Ive found more clouds of gray
Than any russian play - can guarantee
I was a fool to fall - and get this way
Ah ho alas and awe - so lackaday
Although I cant dismiss
The memory of her kiss
I guess shes not - shes not for me
Old man sunshine - listen you
Never tell me dreams come true
Just try it - and all start a riot
Beatrice fairfax dont you dare
Ever tell me she will care
Im certain - its the final curtain
I never want to here from any cheerful polly-annas
Who tell you fate supplies a mate - its all bananas
It all began so well - but what an end
This is the time - a fellow needs a friend
When every happy plot
Ends with a marriage knot
And theres no knot, no not for me
