A Cock-Eyed Optimist |
| When the skies are brighter canary yellow |
| I forget ev’ry cloud I’ve ever seen |
| So they called me a cockeyed optimist |
| Immature and incurably green |
| I 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 |
| Is fallin' on its face |
| And hasn’t very far to go |
| But ev’ry whippoorwill |
| Is sellin' me a bill |
| And tellin' me it just ain’t so |
| I could say life is just a bowl of Jello |
| 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 |
