But Not For Me

Lyrics Old man sunshine, listen you Never tell me dreams come true Just try it and I'll start a riot Beatrix 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 tell you fate provides 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 skies of gray Than any Russian play could guarantee I was a fool to fall and get that way Hi ho alas and also lackaday Although I can't dismiss The memory of her kiss I guess she's not for me I was a fool to fall and get that way Hi ho alas and also lackaday Although I can't dismiss The memory of her kiss I guess she's not for me I guess she's not for me
