"Isn't It A Pity?" lyrics

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

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 I've wasted
Fishing for salmon
Losing at backgammon
What joys untasted
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 ever met before
