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 cockeyed optimist[00:00:21]
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[00:00:45]
But I'm only a cockeyed optimist[00:00:51]
And I can't get it into my head[00:00:58]
I hear the human race[00:01:05]
Is fallin' on its 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[00:01:27]
I could say life is[00:01:34]
Just a bowl of Jello[00:01:38]
And appear more intelligent and smart[00:01:42]
But I'm stuck like a dope[00:01:50]
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[00:02:12]
Is fallin' on its 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[00:02:34]
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 like a dope[00:02:56]
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]
