A lucky star's above, but not for me

With love to lead the way, I've seen more clouds of gray

Than any Russian play could guarantee

I was a fool to fall and get that way

Heigh ho, alas, and also lackaday

Although I can't dismiss, the memory of her kiss

I guess she's not for me

She's knocking on the door, but not for me

She'll plan a two by four, but not for me

I know that love's a game, I'm puzzled just the same

Was I the moth or flame, I'm all at sea

It all began so well, but what an end

This is the time a feller needs a friend

When every happy plot ends with the marriage knot

And there's no knot for me
