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 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 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 his kiss

I guess he's not for me



Although I can't dismiss

The memory of his kiss

I guess he's not for me
