Changing My Tune 1946 'The Shocking Miss Pilgrim'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 09 Aug 2003

Yesterday the skies were black
and I was blue.
Yesterday, alas alack!
I thought I was through.
But knock on wood!
My job looks good
and having found a dwelling
my happiness is beyond the telling.

Castles were crumbling
and day dreams were tumbling,
December was battling with June.
But on this bright afternoon,
guess I'll be changing my tune.
Kept on despairing
beyond any caring
if I jumped out of a balloon
but I'm arranging from now
to be changing my tune.
At last the skies are bright and shiny,
it's a human world once more.
Yesterday's troubles are tiny
what was I worried for?
Wanted a permit
to make me a hermit
to grumble and glare at the moon,
but I'm arranging from now
to be changing my tune.

No more the feeling
that my world is reeling,
no fearing I'll fall in a swoon.
Problems are all picayune,
that's why I'm changing my tune.
Felt like a sailor
adrift on a whaler,
asailing into a typhoon
but I'm arranging from now
to be changing my tune.
At last the skies are bright and shiny,
it's a human world once more.
Yesterday's troubles are tiny
what was I worried for?
No more resentment,
I'm full of contentment
afloat on a dreamy lagoon
and I'm arranging from now
to be changing my tune.
