(verse)
[michael]
why did i wander
here and there and yonder
wasting precious time
for no reason or rhyme?
isn’t it a pity?
isn’t it a crime?
my journey’s ended
everything is splendid
meeting you today
has given me a
wonderful idea
here i stay!

(chorus)
[michael]
it’s a funny thing
i look at you
i get a thrill
i never knew
isn’t it a pity we never met before?

here we are at last
it’s like a dream
the two of us
a perfect team
isn’t it a pity we never met before?

imagine all the lonely years we’ve wasted
you with the neighbors
i at silly labors
what joys untasted!
you reading heine
i somewhere in china

happiest of men
i’m sure to be
if only you
will say to me
“it’s an awful pity we never ever met before!”

(verse 2)
[ilse]
while you were flitting
i was busy knitting

[michael]
how did you survive
waiting till i’d arrive?

[ilse]
all my dresden boyfriends
were only half alive
sleepy was hermann
fritz was like a sermon
hans was such a bore!

[michael]
how well i planned it

[ilse]
i just couldn’t stand it
anymore

(chorus 2)
[ilse]
it’s a funny thing
i look at you
i get a thrill
i never knew
isn’t it a pity we never met before?

here we are at last
it’s like a dream
the two of us
a perfect team

[michael]
for you’re more than pretty, and i have charm galore!

[ilse]
imagine all the lonely years we’ve wasted
you up in norway
i around my doorway
what joys untasted!
if you’d been handy
it’d have been just dandy

isn’t it a shame
we had to wait?

[michael]
but thank the lord
it’s not too late

[ilse]
still, it’s such a pity we never never met before!

(chorus 3)
[ilse]
love your funny smile
your twinkling eye

[michael]
that’s very nice
for so do i!

[michael and ilse]
isn’t it a pity we never met before?

[michael]
put your hand in mine
a perfect fit

[ilse]
we never knew

[michael and ilse]
just think of it!
isn’t it a pity we never met before?

[michael]
imagine all the lonely years i’ve wasted
fishing for salmon
losing at backgammon

[ilse]
what joys untasted!
my nights were sour
spent with schopenhauer

[michael and ilse]
let’s forget the past
let’s both agree
that i’m for you
and you’re for me
and it’s such a pity we never ever met before!
