[00:00.53]A Cockeyed Optimist - The New Musical Cast
[00:12.97]When the sky is a bright canary yellow
[00:18.58]I forget ev'ry cloud I've ever seen
[00:22.68]So they called me a cockeyed optimist
[00:26.92]Immature and incurably green
[00:30.98]I have heard people rant and rave and bellow
[00:34.99]That we're done and we might as well be dead
[00:39.03]But I'm only a cockeyed optimist
[00:43.14]And I can't get it into my head
[00:47.57]I hear the human race
[00:49.60]Is fallin' on its face
[00:51.51]And hasn't very far to go
[00:55.98]But ev'ry whippoorwill
[00:58.07]Is sellin' me a bill
[01:00.10]And tellin' me it just ain't so
[01:05.74]I could say life is just a bowl of Jello
[01:10.34]And appear more intelligent and smart
[01:14.26]But I'm stuck like a dope
[01:16.21]With a thing called hope
[01:18.36]And I can't get it out of my heart
[01:23.00]Not this heart
