Why did I wander
|
Here and there and yonder
|
Wasting precious time
|
For no reason or rhyme
|
|
Isn't it a pity
|
Isn't it a crime
|
My journeys 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 you wasted
|
Fishing for salmon
|
Losing at backgammon
|
|
What joys un-tasted
|
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
|
|
[Bridge]
|
|
It's an awful pity
|
We never, never met before
|
