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's 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 neighbors, i at silly labors
What joys untasted,
You reading heine, i somewhere in china.
Happiest of men i'm sure to be
If only you will say to me
Isn't it a pity we never met before?
While you were knitting, i was busy flitting
How did you survive, waiting till i arrived.
All your dresden boyfriends were only half-alive
A d
Nicholas was such a bore.
How well i planned it
I just couldn't stand it anymore.
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?
Imagine all the lonely years we've wasted,
Me up in norway, you round your doorway
What joys untasted!
If you'd been handy
T'would have been so dandy.
What joys untasted,
My nights were sour spent with schopenhauer.
Isn't it a shame we had to wait
But thank the lord it's not too late.
Still it's such a pity we never, never met before?
Love your funny smile, your twinkling eyes
That's very nice for so do i
Isn't it a pity we never met before?
Put your hand mine, a perfect fit
We never knew just think of it.
Isn't it a pity we never met before?
Imagine all the lonely year's 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.
