A Cockeyed Optimist - Live in Concert

Lyrics
When the skies are 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...
