Isn't It A Pity Songtext / Lyric

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 journeys 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 you wasted

Fishing for salmon

Losing at backgammon



What joys un-tasted

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



(bridge)



It's an awful pity

We never, never met before
