Isn't It a Pity Songtext
von Zoot Sims

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
It's an awful pity
We never, never met before
