But Not for Me

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 clouds of gray
Than any Russian play - can guarantee
I was a fool to fall - and get this way
Ah ho alas and awe - so lackaday
Although I can't dismiss
The memory of her kiss
I guess she's not - she′s not for me
Old man sunshine - listen you
Never tell me dreams come true
Just try it - and all start a riot
Beatrice Fairfax don′t you dare
Ever tell me she will care
I'm certain - it′s the final curtain
I never want to here from any
Cheerful Polly-Anna's
Who tell you fate supplies a
Mate - it′s all bananas
It all began so well - but what an end
This is the time - a fellow needs a friend
When every happy plot
Ends with a marriage knot
And there's no knot, no (k)not for me
