Writers: Gershwin/Gershwin



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
