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 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 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 --- But Not for Me - Harry James and Harry James & His Orchestra
