But Not For Me

Verse
Old man Sun-shine, lis-ten, you!
Nev-er tell me, "Dreams Come True!"
Just try it  And I'll start a ri-ot____

Bea-trice Fair-fax, don't you dare Ev-er tell me he will care;
I'm cer-tain It's the fin-al cur-tain,
I nev-er want to hear from any cheer-ful Pol-ly-an-nas,
Who tell you fate Sup-plies a mate, It's all ba-na-nas!

First Refrain
They're writ-ing songs of love,___But not for me.
A luck-y star's a-bove, But not for me.
With love to lead the way I've found more clouds of gray
Than an-y Rus-sian play could guar-antee. 

I was a fool to fall__And get that way;
Heigh-ho! A - las! and al- so, Lack-a-day!
Al-though I can't dis-miss  The mem-'ry of his kiss,
I guess he's not for me.

Second Refrain
He's knock-ing on a door,__But not for me.
He'll plan a two by four,__But not for me.
I know that love's a game; I'm puz-zled, just the same,
Was I the moth or flame?  I'm all at sea.

It all be - gan so well, But what an end!
This is the time a fell-er needs a friend,
When ev-'ry hap-py plot Ends with the mar-riage knot,
And there's no knot for me.___________
