[00:00.00]Cockeyed Optimist - Jim Tomlinson/Matt Skelton/Dave Newton/Dave Chamberlain/Stacey Kent
[00:07.35]When the skies are brighter canary yellow
[00:10.62]I forget every cloud i've ever seen
[00:14.37]So the called me a cockeyed optimist
[00:18.00]Immature and incurably green
[00:21.65]I have heard people rant and rave and bellow
[00:25.17]That we're done and we might as well be dead
[00:28.66]But i'm only a cockeyed optimist
[00:32.22]And i can't get it into my head
[00:35.63]I hear the human race
[00:37.88]Is falling on its face
[00:39.54]And hasn't very far to go
[00:43.48]But every whippoorwill
[00:45.65]Is selling me a bill
[00:47.52]And telling me it just ain't so
[00:50.83]I could say life is just a bowl of jello
[00:54.14]And appear more intelligent and smart
[00:57.92]But i'm stuck like a dopest
[00:59.71]With a thing called hope
[01:01.71]And i can't get it out of my heart
[01:06.08]Not this heart
