Isn't It a Pity

Why did I wander

Here and there and yonder?

Wasting precious time

For no reason or rhyme

Isn't it a pity

Isn't it a crime

My journeys ended

Everything is splendid

Meeting you today

Has given me a wonderful idea

Here I stay

It's a funny thing

I look at you

I get a thrill

I never knew

Isn't it a pity

We never met before?

Here we are at last

It's like a dream

The two of us

A perfect team

Isn't it a pity

We never met before?

Imagine all the lonely years you've wasted

Fishing for salmon

Losing at backgammon

What joys untasted

My nights were sour

Spent with schopenhauer

Let's forget the past

Let's both agree

That I'm for you

And you're for me

And it's such a pity

We never, never met before

It's an awful pity

We never, never met before
