Why did I wanderHere and there and yonderWasting precious timeFor no reason or rhymeIsn’t it a pityIsn’t it a crimeMy journeys endedEverything is splendidMeeting you todayHas given me a wonderful ideaHere I stayIt’s a funny thingI look at youI get a thrillI never knewIsn’t it a pityWe never met before? Here we are at lastIt’s like a dreamThe two of usA perfect teamIsn’t it a pityWe never met before? Imagine all the lonely years you wastedFishing for salmonLosing at backgammonWhat joys un-tastedMy nights were sourSpent with schopenhauerLet’s forget the pastLet’s both agreeThat I’m for youAnd you’re for meAnd it’s such a pityWe never, never met before(bridge)It’s an awful pityWe never, never met before
