YOU SING THE HITS

INeIliel When the sky

Is a bright canary yellow

I forget ev'ry

Cloud I've ever seen

So they call me
A cockeyed optimist

Immature and incurably green

l have heard people
Rant and rave and bellow

That we're done

And we might as well be dead

But I'm only
A cockeyed optimist

And I can't get it into my head

I hear the human race

ls falling on it's face

And hasn't very far to go

But ev'ry whippoorwill

ls selling me a bill
And telling me

Itjust ain't so

I could say

Life is just a bowl ofjello

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
