You dear attractive dewy eyed idealist
Today you have to learn to be a realist
You may be bent on doing deeds of daring do
But up against a shark what can a herring do
Be wise compromise compromise and be wise
Let them think you're on their side be non committal
I will not bow my head to the men I despise
You won't have to bow your head just stoop a little
Why not learn to put your faith in your alliance
On an obvious and simple fact of science
A crazy planet full of crazy people
Is summer soaking all around the sky
And and every time it turns another summer songs
Another day goes by
And there's no way to stop it
No there's no way to stop it
No you can't stop it even if you try
So I'm not going to hurry
No I'm not going to worry
Every time I see another day go by
While somersaulting at a ** eyed angle
We make a ** eyed circle 'round the sun
And when we circle back to where we started from
Another year as run
And there's no way to stop it
No there's no way to stop it
If the earth wants to roll around the sun
You're a fool if you worry
You're a fool if you worry
Over anything but little number one
That's you that's I and I and me
That all absorbing character
That fascinating creature that super
Special feature me
So every star in every whirling planet
And every constellation in the sky
Revolve around the center of the universe
A lovely thing
Oh I
And there's no way to stop it
No there's no way to stop it
And I know though I cannot tell you why that's true
That as long as I'm living
Just as long as I'm living
There'll be nothing else as wonderful as I
I I I
Nothing else as wonderful as I
