I Guess I'll Have To Change My Plan

Arthur Schwartz & Howard Dietz, 1929

Triplicate sessions, Capitol Recording Studio B, Los Angeles CA - February 2016  

I guess I'll have to change my plan
I should have realized there'd be another man
I overlooked that point completely
Until the big affair began.
Before I knew where I was at
I found myself upon the shelf and that was that
I tried to reach the moon but when I got there
All that I could get was the air.
My feet are back upon the ground
I lost the one girl that I'd found.

I guess I'll have to change my plan
I should have realized there'd be another man
Why did i buy those blue pyjamas
Before that big affair began.
My boiling point is much too low
For me to try to be a fly Lothario
I think I'll crawl right back and into my shell
Dwelling in my personal hell
I'll have to change my plan around.
I lost the one girl I'd found
Yes the one girl, the one girl I'd found.
