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

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

When every happy plot

Ends with a the marriage knot
And there's
No knot for me
