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 he will care

I'm certain

It's the final curtain

I never want to hear

From any cheerful Pollyannas

Who tell you fate supplies a mate

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've found more clouds of gray

Than any Russian play

Could guarantee

I was a fool to fall

And get that way

Heigh-ho, alas! and al-

So, lackaday

Although I can't dismiss

The memory of your kiss

I guess he's not for me

With every happy plot

Ends with a marriage knot

I guess he's not for me
