Ella Fitzgerald Isn`t It A Pity? Lyrics

Isn`t It A Pity? Lyrics

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
