LYRICS:
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 she- (or he-I use She/Her pronouns throughout)
-will care! I’m certain it’s the final curtain.
I never want to hear from any
Cheerful Poly-Annas
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 clouds of grey
Than any Russian play
Could guarantee.
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 her kiss,
I guess she’s not for me.
She’s knocking on a door,
But not for me.
She’ll plan a two-by-four,
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!
Now is the time a lady- (or fella)
-needs a friend.
When every happy plot
Ends with the marriage knot…
…And there’s no knot…
…I guess she’s not for me.
