Sammy Davis Jr. — But Not for Me

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 that likes it the final curtain I never want to hear from any cheerful Pollyanna's Who tell you fate supplies a mate It's all bananas They're writing songs of love, but not for me A lucky star's shining up above, but not for me With love to lead the way I've found more clouds of gray Than any one of those Russian plays 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 that gal is not for me It was a drag 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, man she's not for me She's not for me
