A Cockeyed Optimist Lyrics - Singles - South Pacific

Nellie: 

When the sky is a bright canary yellow 

I forget ev'ry cloud I've ever seen, 

So they called me a cockeyed optimist 

Immature and incurably green. 

 

I have heard people rant and rave and bellow 

That we're done and we might as well be dead, 

But I'm only a cockeyed optimist 

And I can't get it into my head. 

 

I hear the human race 

Is fallin' on its face 

And hasn't very far to go, 

But ev'ry whippoorwill 

Is sellin' me a bill, 

And tellin' me it just ain't so. 

 

I could say life is just a bowl of Jello 

And appear more intelligent and smart, 

But I'm stuck like a dope 

With a thing called hope, 

And I can't get it out of my heart! 

Not this heart...
