[00:00.00]A Cock-Eyed Optimist - Rodgers & Hammerstein
[00:09.67]When the sky is a bright canary yellow
[00:15.43]I forget ev'ry cloud i've ever seen
[00:19.98]So they called me a cockeyed optimist
[00:24.39]Immature and incurably green
[00:29.02]I have heard people rant and rave and bellow
[00:33.76]That we're done and we might as well be dead
[00:38.30]But i'm only a cockeyed optimist
[00:42.83]And i can't get it into my head
[00:47.89]I hear the human race
[00:49.94]Is falling on its face
[00:52.33]And hasn't very far to go
[00:58.16]But ev'ry whippoorwill
[01:00.90]Is selling me a bill
[01:03.04]And telling me it just ain't so
[01:07.52]I could say life is just a bowl of jello
[01:12.49]And appear more intelligent and smart
[01:17.07]But i'm stuck like a **
[01:19.40]With a thing called hope
[01:22.07]And i can't get it out of my heart
[01:27.10]Not this heart
