A Cock-Eyed Optimist (Remaster) - Lena Horne (莲纳·荷恩)[00:00:00]
Written by:Rr/Oscar Hammerstein II / Richard Rodgers[00:00:00]
When the sky is a bright canary yellow[00:00:06]
I forget every cloud I've ever seen[00:00:13]
So they call me a cockeyed optimist[00:00:20]
Immature and incurably green[00:00:28]
I have heard people rant and rave and bellow[00:00:35]
That we're done and we might as well be dead[00:00:43]
But I'm only a cockeyed optimist[00:00:50]
And I can can't get it into my head[00:00:57]
I hear the human race[00:01:05]
Is falling on it's face[00:01:09]
And hasn't very far to go[00:01:12]
But every whip poor will[00:01:20]
Is selling me a bill[00:01:23]
And tell me it just ain't so[00:01:27]
I could say life is just a bowl of jello[00:01:34]
And appear more intelligent and smart[00:01:42]
But I'm suck like a dope[00:01:49]
With a thing called hope[00:01:53]
And I can't get it into my heart[00:01:57]
No not this heart[00:02:04]
I hear the human race[00:02:12]
Is falling on it's face[00:02:16]
And hasn't very far to go[00:02:19]
But every whip poor will[00:02:27]
Is selling me a bill[00:02:30]
And tell me it just ain't so[00:02:34]
I could say life is just a bowl of jello[00:02:41]
And appear more intelligent and smart[00:02:49]
But I'm suck like a dope[00:02:56]
With a thing called hope[00:03:00]
And I can't get it out of my heart[00:03:04]
No not this heart[00:03:11]
