richard rodgers - a cockeyed optimist lyrics

Loading...

[nellie]
when the sky is bright canary yellow
i forget ev’ry cloud i’ve ever seen
so they called me a c-ckeyed optimist
immature and incurably green

i have heard people rant and rave and bellow
that we’re done and we might as well be dead
but i’m only a c-ckeyed optimist
and i can’t get it into my head

i hear the human race
is fallin’ on its face
and hasn’t very far to go
but ev’ry whip-poor-will
is sellin’ me a bill
and tellin’ me it just ain’t so

i could say life is just a bowl of jello
and appear more intelligent and smart
but i’m stuck like a dope
with a thing called hope
and i can’t get it out of my heart!
not this heart
