《A Cock-Eyed Optimist》歌词

[00:00:00] A Cock-Eyed Optimist (《南太平洋》电影插曲) - Lena Horne (莲纳·荷恩)

[00:00:09] When the sky is a bright canary yellow

[00:00:16] I forget ev'ry cloud I've ever seen

[00:00:23] So they called me a cockeyed optimist

[00:00:31] I'm mature and incurably green

[00:00:38] I have heard people rant

[00:00:41] And rave and bellow

[00:00:45] That we're done and

[00:00:47] We might as well be dead

[00:00:53] But I'm only a cockeyed optimist

[00:01:00] And I can't get it into my head

[00:01:07] I hear the human race

[00:01:11] Is fallin' on its face

[00:01:15] And hasn't very far to go

[00:01:22] But ev'ry whippoor will

[00:01:26] Is sellin' me a bill

[00:01:29] And tellin' me it just ain't so

[00:01:36] I could say life is

[00:01:39] Just a bowl of Jello

[00:01:44] And appear more intelligent and smart

[00:01:52] But I'm stuck like a dope

[00:01:55] With a thing called hope

[00:01:59] And I can't get it out of my heart

[00:02:06] No Not this heart

[00:02:14] I hear the human race

[00:02:17] Is fallin' on its face

[00:02:21] And hasn't very far to go

[00:02:28] But ev'ry whippoor will

[00:02:32] Is sellin' me a bill

[00:02:35] And tellin' me it just ain't so

[00:02:43] I could say life is

[00:02:46] Just a bowl of Jello

[00:02:50] And appear more intelligent and smart

[00:02:57] But I'm stuck like a dope

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

[00:03:05] And I can't get it out of my heart

[00:03:12] No Not this heart
