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
