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
