| ::But Not for Me:: Words by Ira Gershwin Music by George Gershwin, 1930 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 cheer- Ful Polyannas, 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 above, But not for me. With Love to Lead the Way, I've found more skies of Gray Than any Russian play Could Guarantee. I was a fool to fall And Get That Way; Heigh ho! Alas! And al- So Lackaday! Although I can't dismiss The mem'ry of his kiss - I guess he's not for me. |
