Introdução: Verse 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 journey's ended, everything is splendid Meeting you today Has given me a wonderful idea here I stay Melody 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 we've wasted You with the neighbors, I at silly labors what joys untasted You reading Heine, me somewhere in China. 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. Imagine all the lonely year's we've wasted, What joys untasted, fishing for salmon, Losing at backgammon. 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.
