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              You with the neighbors I at silly labors What joys untasted   You reading Heine me somewhere in China 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  Imagine all the lonely year's we've wasted              Fishing for salmon losing at backgammon What joys untasted  My nights were sour spent with Schopenhauer 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
