Lena Horne at the Cocoanut Grove: A Cock-Eyed Optimist - Lena Horne (莲纳·荷恩)[00:00:00]
When the sky is a bright canary yellow[00:00:06]
I forget ev'ry cloud I've ever seen[00:00:14]
So they called me a[00:00:21]
Cockeyed optimist[00:00:25]
I'm mature and incurably green[00:00:29]
I have heard people rant[00:00:36]
And rave and bellow[00:00:39]
That we're done and[00:00:43]
We might as well be dead[00:00:46]
But I'm only a[00:00:51]
Cockeyed optimist[00:00:54]
And I can't get it into my head[00:00:58]
I hear the human race[00:01:05]
Is fallin' on it's face[00:01:09]
And hasn't very far to go[00:01:13]
But ev'ry whippoor will[00:01:20]
Is sellin' me a bill[00:01:24]
And tellin' me it just ain't so[00:01:28]
I could say life is[00:01:35]
Just a bowl of Jello[00:01:38]
And appear more intelligent and smart[00:01:43]
But I'm stuck[00:01:50]
Like a dope[00:01:52]
With a thing called hope[00:01:54]
And I can't get it out of my heart[00:01:57]
No not this heart[00:02:05]
I hear the human race[00:02:13]
Is fallin' on it's face[00:02:16]
And hasn't very far to go[00:02:20]
But ev'ry whippoor will[00:02:27]
Is sellin' me a bill[00:02:31]
And tellin' me it just ain't so[00:02:35]
I could say life is[00:02:42]
Just a bowl of Jello[00:02:45]
And appear more intelligent and smart[00:02:49]
But I'm stuck[00:02:57]
Like a dope[00:02:59]
With a thing called hope[00:03:01]
And I can't get it out of my heart[00:03:04]
No not this heart[00:03:12]
