Lyrics A Cock-Eyed Optimist (From "South Pacific") - Remastered 2002 - Lena Horne
When
the
sky
is
a
bright
canary
yellow
I
forget
every
cloud
I've
ever
seen
So
they
call
me
a
cockeyed
optimist
Immature
and
incurably
green
I
have
heard
people
rant
and
rave
and
bellow
That
we're
done
and
we
might
as
well
be
dead
But
I'm
only
a
cockeyed
optimist
And
I
can
can't
get
it
into
my
head
I
hear
the
human
race
Is
falling
on
its
face
And
hasn't
very
far
to
go
But
every
whip-poor-will
Is
selling
me
a
bill
And
tell
me
it
just
ain't
so
I
could
say
life
is
just
a
bowl
of
jello
And
appear
more
intelligent
and
smart
But
I'm
suck
like
a
dope
With
a
thing
called
hope
And
I
can't
get
it
into
my
heart
Not
this
heart
