Old man sunshine, listen you<br>
Never tell me dreams come true
Never tell me dreams come true<br>
 
Just try it and I'll start a riot<br>
Just try it
Beatrix Fairfax, don't you dare<br>
 
Ever tell me she will care<br>
And I'll start a riot
I'm certain it's the final curtain<br>
 
I never want to hear from any cheerful Pollyannas<br>
Beatrix Fairfax don't you dare
Who tell you fate provides a mate<br>
 
It's all bananas<br>
Ever tell me she will care
<br>
 
They're writing songs of love<br>
I'm certain
But not for me<br>
 
A lucky star's above<br>
It's the final curtain
But not for me<br>
 
With love to lead the way<br>
I never want to hear from any cheerful Polly-Annas
I've found more skies of gray<br>
 
Than any Russian play could guarantee<br>
Who tell you fate provides a mate
<br>
 
I was a fool to fall and get that way<br>
It's all bananas
Hi ho alas and also lackaday<br>
 
Although I can't dismiss<br>
 
The memory of her kiss<br>
They're writing songs of love
I guess she's not for me<br>
 
<br>
But not for me
I was a fool to fall and get that way<br>
 
Hi ho alas and also lackaday<br>
A lucky star's above
Although I can't dismiss<br>
 
The memory of her kiss<br>
But not for me
I guess she's not for me<br>
 
I guess she's not for me<br>
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

lyrics for
But Not For Me

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
