Isn't It a Pity

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
And with the neighbors leak at silly labors
What joys untasted

My nights were sour hour after hour
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

Can you imagine all the
Lonely years we've wasted fishing for salmon
Losing at backgammon what joys untasted
You watching Dinah me somewhere in China
Happiest of men, I'll always be
If only you will say to me

It's an awful pity we never, never met before
That we never, never, met before
