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 are grey
Than any Russian play could guarantee
I was a fool to fall and get that way
Heigh ho, alas, and also lack-a-day
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 feller needs a friend
When every happy plot ends with a marriage knot
And there´s no knot for me
A lucky star´s above, but not for me
With love to lead the way, I´ve found more clouds are grey
Than any Russian play could guarantee
I was a fool to fall and get that way
Heigh ho, alas, and also lack-a-day
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 feller needs a friend
When every happy plot ends with a marriage knot
And there´s no knot for me
