Why did I wander
Here and there and yonder
Wasting precious time
For no reason or rhyme

Isnt it a pity
Isnt it a crime
My journeys ended
Everything is splendid

Meeting you today
Has given me a wonderful idea
Here I stay

Its a funny thing
I look at you
I get a thrill
I never knew

Isnt it a pity
We never met before?

Here we are at last
Its like a dream
The two of us
A perfect team

Isnt it a pity
We never met before?

Imagine all the lonely years you wasted
Fishing for salmon
Losing at backgammon

What joys un-tasted
My nights were sour
Spent with schopenhauer

Lets forget the past
Lets both agree
That Im for you
And youre for me
And its such a pity
We never, never met before

(bridge)

Its an awful pity
We never, never met before
