Lyrics
(George and ira gershwin)
Old man sunshine, listen, you Never tell me dreams come true Just try it, and I'll start a riot Oprah winfrey 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 supplies 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 skys 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
It all began so well But what an end This is the time A fellow needs a friend
The climax of the plot Should be a marriage knot But there's No knot for me
Although I can't dismiss The memory of her kiss I guess She's not for me
