Isn't It A Pity? (from 'Pardon My English')

Isn't It A Pity? (from 'Pardon My English') - George Gershwin

Why did I wander

Here and there and yonder

Wasting precious time

For no reason or rhyme

Isn't it a pity

Isn't it a crime

My journeys ended

Everything is splendid

Meeting you today

Has given me a wonderful idea

Here I stay

It's a funny thing

I look at you

I get a thrill

I never knew

Isn't it a pity

We never met before

Here we are at last

It's like a dream

The two of us

A perfect team

Isn't it a pity

We never met before

Imagine all the lonely years we've wasted

You with the neighbours

I with silly labours

What joys untasted

You reading Heine

Me somewhere in China

Happiest of girls I'm sure to be

If only you would say to me

It's an awful pity

We never never met before
