1
When the skies are brighter canary yellow
2
I forget ev'ry cloud I've ever seen,
3
So they called me a cockeyed optimist
4
Immature and incurably green.
5
I have heard people rant and rave and bellow
6
That we're done and we might as well be dead,
7
But I'm only a cockeyed optimist
8
And I can't get it into my head.
9
I hear the human race
10
Is fallin' on its face
11
And hasn't very far to go,
12
But ev'ry whippoorwill
13
Is sellin' me a bill,
14
And tellin' me it just ain't so.
15
I could say life is just a bowl of Jello
16
And appear more intelligent and smart,
17
But I'm stuck like a dope
18
With a thing called hope,
19
And I can't get it out of my heart!
20
Not this heart
