But Not for Me - Ruthie Henshall

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 will care

I’m certain, It’s the final curtain

Don’t want to hear from and cheerful Pollyannas

Who tell me love will find a way, 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 found more clouds of gray

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

It all began so well, but what an end

This is the time a fella needs a friend

When every happy plot

Ends in a marriage knot

And there’s no knot for me
