“But Not for Me (live)”
Lyrics Permalink
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
I never want to hear
From any cheerful Pollyannas
That 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 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
And though I can’t dismiss
The memory of her kiss
I guess she’s not for me
Micky: And now here’s me doing my mom doing Billie Holiday.
I was a fool to fall
And get that way
Hi-ho, alas, and also
Lack-a-day
And though I can’t dismiss
The memory of her kiss
I guess she’s not for me
