Lyrics
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 he will care
I'm certain, it's the final curtain
I never want to hear from any cheerful Polly Annas
Who tells you fate supplies a mate
It's all bananas
They're writing songs of love but not for me
Ah, lucky stars 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
Ah, ho, alas and awe so lackaday
Although I can't dismiss
The memory of his kiss
I guess he never had eyes for me
I was a fool to fall and get that way
Ah, ho, alas and awe so lackaday
Although I can't dismiss
The memory of his kiss
I guess, yes, he's not for me
Writer(s): Ira Gershwin, George Gershwin
