No Way to Stop It (From "The Sound of Music")

You dear attractive dewy-eyed idealist
Today you have to learn to be a realist
You may be bent on doing deed of daring due
But up against a shark, what can a herring do?
Be wise, compromise
Compromise, and be wise!
Let them think you’re on their side, be noncommittal
I will not bow my head to the men I despise!
You won’t have to bow your head to stoop a little
Why not learn to put your faith and your reliance
On an obvious and simple fact of science?
A crazy planet full of crazy people
Is somersaulting all around the sky
And every time it turns another somersault
Another day goes by
And there’s no way to stop it
No, there’s no way to stop it
No, you can’t stop it even if you tried
So, I’m not going to worry
No, I’m not going to worry
Every time I see another day go by
While somersaulting at a cockeyed angle
We make a cockeyed circle 'round the sun
And when we circle back to where we started from
Another year has run
And there’s no way to stop it
No, there’s no way to stop it
If the earth wants to roll around the sun
You’re a fool if you worry
You’re a fool if you worry
Over anything but little number one
That’s you!
That’s I!
And I!
And me!
That all absorbing character
That fastinating creature
That super special feature
Me!
So every star on every whirling planet
And every constellation in the sky
Revolves around the center of the universe
That lovely thing called, I
And there’s no way to stop it
No, there’s no way to stop it
And I know, though I cannot tell you why (sigh)
Just as long as I’m living
Just as long as I’m living
There’ll be nothing else as wonderful as I
I!
I!
I!
Nothing else as wonderful as I!
