George Gershwin
But Not for Me
[ADAM]
They're writing songs of love, but not for me
A lucky star's above, but not for me
[MILO]
Shall we dance to romance?
[ADAM]
With love to lead the way
I've found more skies of grey
[MILO]
You'd better dance with the lady, dance, little man
[ADAM]
Than any Russian play could guarantee
[MILO]
Dance whenever you can
I was a fool to fall and get that way
[ADAM]
Who cares?
[ADAM & MILO]
Heigh ho, alas
[MILO]
And also lack-a-day
[ADAM]
The lonely nights, although I can't dismiss
[MILO]
If you want this world on a string
[ADAM]
The memory of her kiss
[MILO]
You'd better dance with the lady, dance whenever you can
[ADAM]
I guеss she's not for me
[ADAM]
It all began so wеll, but what an end
This is the time a fella needs a friend
When every happy plot
Ends in a marriage knot
But there's no knot for me
