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
