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 Polly Annas

Who tells you fate supplies a mate

It's all bananas

They're writing songs of love but not for me

A lucky stars 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

Ah, ho, alas and awe so lackaday

Although I can't dismiss

The memory of his kiss

I guess he never had eyes for me

I was a fool to fall and get that way

Ah ho alas and awe so lackaday

Although I can't dismiss

The memory of his kiss

I guess, yes, he's not for me
