《A Cock-Eyed Optimist》歌词

[00:00:00] A Cock-Eyed Optimist - Lena Horne

[00:00:06] When the sky is a bright canary yellow

[00:00:14] I forget ev'ry cloud I've ever seen

[00:00:21] So they called me a cockeyed optimist

[00:00:29] I'm mature and incurably green

[00:00:36] I have heard people rant

[00:00:39] And rave and bellow

[00:00:43] That we're done and

[00:00:45] We might as well be dead

[00:00:51] But I'm only a cockeyed optimist

[00:00:58] And I can't get it into my head

[00:01:05] I hear the human race

[00:01:09] Is fallin' on its face

[00:01:13] And hasn't very far to go

[00:01:20] But ev'ry whippoor will

[00:01:24] Is sellin' me a bill

[00:01:27] And tellin' me it just ain't so

[00:01:34] I could say life is

[00:01:38] Just a bowl of Jello

[00:01:42] And appear more intelligent and smart

[00:01:50] But I'm stuck like a dope

[00:01:54] With a thing called hope

[00:01:57] And I can't get it out of my heart

[00:02:05] No Not this heart

[00:02:12] I hear the human race

[00:02:16] Is fallin' on its face

[00:02:20] And hasn't very far to go

[00:02:27] But ev'ry whippoor will

[00:02:31] Is sellin' me a bill

[00:02:34] And tellin' me it just ain't so

[00:02:42] I could say life is

[00:02:45] Just a bowl of Jello

[00:02:49] And appear more intelligent and smart

[00:02:56] But I'm stuck like a dope

[00:03:01] With a thing called hope

[00:03:04] And I can't get it out of my heart

[00:03:12] No Not this heart
