But Not For Me

Theyre writing songs of love - but not for me A lucky stars above - but not for me With love to lead the way Ive found more clouds of gray Than any russian play - can guarantee I was a fool to fall - and get this way Ah ho alas and awe - so lackaday Although I cant dismiss The memory of her kiss I guess shes not - shes not for me Old man sunshine - listen you Never tell me dreams come true Just try it - and all start a riot Beatrice fairfax dont you dare Ever tell me she will care Im certain - its the final curtain I never want to here from any cheerful polly-annas Who tell you fate supplies a mate - its all bananas It all began so well - but what an end This is the time - a fellow needs a friend When every happy plot Ends with a marriage knot And theres no knot, no not for me
