No Way To Stop It

No Way to Stop It - Marion Marlowe/Kurt Kasznar/Theodore Bikel

Written by：Richard Rodgers/Oscar Hammerstein II

You dear attractive dewy eyed idealist

Today you have to

Learn to be a realist

You may be bent on

Doing deed of daring due

But up against a shark

What can a herring do

Be wise compromise

Compromise

And be wise

Let them think you're on their side

Be noncommittal

I will not bow my head

To the men I despise

You don't have to bow

Your head to stoop a little

Why not learn to put your faith

And your reliance

On an obvious

And simple fact of science

A crazy planet full of crazy people

Is somersaulting all around the sky

And every time

It turns another somersault

Another day goes by

And there's no way to stop it

No there's no way to stop it

No you can't stop it even

If you tried

So I'm not going to worry

No I'm not going to worry

Every time I see another day go by

While somersaulting

At a cockeyed angle

We make a cockeyed circle

Around the sun

And when we circle back to

Where we started from

Another year has run

And there's no way to stop it

No there's no way to stop it

If the earth wants to roll

Around the sun

You're a fool if you worry

You're a fool if you worry

Over anything

But little number one

That's you

That's I

And I

And me

That all absorbing character

That fastinating creature

That super special feature

Me

So every star on every whirling planet

And every constellation in the sky

Revolves around the center of the universe

That lovely thing called I

And there's no way to stop it

No there's no way to stop it

And I know

Though I cannot tell you why

But as long as I'm living

Just as long as I'm living

There'll be nothing else

As wonderful as I

I

I

I

Nothing else as wonderful as I
