Old man sunshine, listen you

Never tell me dreams come true

Just try it and I'll start a riot

Beatrix Fairfax, don't you dare

Ever tell me she will care

I'm certain it's the final curtain

I never want to hear from any cheerful Pollyannas

Who tell you fate provides 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 her kiss

I guess she's not for me


I was a fool to fall and get that way

Hi ho alas and also lackaday

Although I can't dismiss

The memory of her kiss

I guess she's not for me

I guess she's not for me
