A Cock-Eyed Optimist (From 'South Pacific') - Remastered 2002
When the sky is a bright canary yellow I forget every cloud I've ever seen So they call me a cockeyed optimist Immature and incurably green
I have heard people rant and rave and bellow That we're done and we might as well be dead But I'm only a cockeyed optimist And I can can't get it into my head
I hear the human race Is falling on its face And hasn't very far to go Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com But every whip-poor-will Is selling me a bill And tell me it just ain't so
I could say life is just a bowl of jello And appear more intelligent and smart But I'm suck like a dope With a thing called hope And I can't get it into my heart
Not this heart
