[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
It all began so well
But what an end
This is the time
A fella needs a friend
When every happy plot
Ends with a the marriage knot
And there's
No knot for me
