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 she will care, I'm certain, It's the final curtain. I never want to hear from any cheerful Pollyannas Who tells me 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 found more skys of grey, 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 her kiss, I guess she's not for me. It all began so well, but what an end, This is the time a fella needs a friend, When every happy plot, Ends in a marriage knot, And there's no knot for me --- But Not for Me - Amanda Fahey
