Q&A
Isn't It a Pity? Lyrics
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 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!
Here and 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!
I look at you,
I get a thrill I never knew,
Isn't it a pity we never met before!
It's like a dream,
The two of us, a perfect team,
Isn't it a pity we never met before!
You with the neighbours,
I at silly labours!
What joys untasted,
You readin' Heine,
Me somewhere in China!
That I'm for you and you're for me,
And it's such a pity we never, never met before!
Fishing for salmon,
Losing at backgammon!
What joys untasted,
My nights were sour,
Spent with Schopenhauer!
That I'm for you and you're for me,
And it's such a pity we never, never met before!
