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

Don't want to hear from any 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 are 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 his kiss

I guess he's not for me

With every happy plot

Ends in a marriage knot

I guess he's not for me
