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 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 this way
Hi ho! Alas! And also lack-a-day!
Although I can't dismiss
The memory of her kiss
I guess she's not
She's not for me
It all began so well, but what an end
This is the time a feller needs a friend
When every happy plot
Ends with a marriage knot
Still there's no knot, no knot for me
