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 ever want to hear from

Any cheerful pollyannas

Who tell you fate supplies a mate

That'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 this way

Hi hi ho ho alas lackaday

Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss

I guess it's that not for me

Knocking on the door but not for me

He'll plan a two by four but not for me

I know that love's a game I'm puzzled just the same

Was I the moth or flame I'm all at sea

It all began so well what an end

This is the time a fellah needs a friend

When every happy plot ends with a marriage knot

And there's no knot for me

I'm loving so but loves got go

It's plan to see not for me
