Isn't It a Pity?

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Why did I wander Hereand there and yonder, Wasting precious time For no reason or rhyme? Isn't it a pity! Isn't it a crime! My journey is ended, Everything is splendid; Meeting you today Has given me a wonderful idea Here I stay! It's a funny thing; I look at you, I get a thrill I never knew, Isn't it a pity we never met before! Here we are at last, It's like a dream, The two of us, a perfect team, Isn't it a pity we never met before! Imagine all the lonely years we've wasted, You with the neighbours, I at silly labours! What joys untasted, You readin Heine, Me somewhere in China! Let's forget the past, let's both agree That I'm for you and you're for me, And it's such a pity we never, never met before! Imagine all the lonely years we've wasted, Fishing for salmon, Losing at backgammon! What joys untasted, My nights were sour, Spent with Schopenhauer! Let's forget the past, let's both agree That I'm for you and you're for me, And it's such a pity we never, never met before!
