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 want to hear from any cheerful Polyannas
Who tell you fate supplies a mate
It's all bananas
They're writing songs of love but not for me
A lucky stars above but not for me
With love to lead the way
I found more clouds more clouds of grey
Than any rush or play could gurantee
I was a fool to fall and get that way
Hi ho alas and also lack a day
Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss
I guess he's not for me
But not for me
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 but what an end
This is the time a fella needs a shred
When every happy plot ends with a marriage knot
And there's no knot for me
I guess he's not for me
