(Verse)
Troubles are bubbles, they say
And I'm bubbling over today
Spring brings roses to people, you see
But it brings hay fever to me
If I have ever bad luck
It's bad luck, that's sure
That Pollyanna stuff, too
Is tough to endure

(Chorus)
Where's that rainbow you hear about?
Where's that lining they cheer about?
Where's that love nest
Where love is king ever after?

Where's that blue room they sing about?
Where's that sunshine they fling about?
I know morning will come
But pardon my laughter

In each scenario
You can depend
On the end
Where the lovers agree
Where's that Lothario
Where does he roam
With his dome
Vaselined
As can be?

It is easy to see all right
Everything's gonna be all right
Be just dandy for everybody but me

(Verse 2)
Fortune never smiles, but in my case
It just laughs right in my face
If I looked for a horseshoe, I suppose
It would bop me right in the nose
My luck will vary surely
That's purely a curse
My luck has changed, it's gotten
From rotten to worse

(Chorus)
Where's that rainbow you hear about?
Where's that lining they cheer about?
Where's that love nest
Where love is king ever after?

Where's that blue room they sing about?
Where's that sunshine they fling about?
I know morning will come
But pardon my laughter

In each scenario
You can depend
On the end
Where the lovers agree
Where's that Lothario
Where does he room
With his dome
Vaselined
As can be?

It is easy to see all right
Everything's gonna be all right
Be just dandy for everybody but me

Thanks ever so much for those Lyrics. Could not find anywhere else! Realized I was named after the Broadway Musical PEGGY ANN, in which this song was sung . Yay!
