But Not For Me



It would seem I intend to translate my entire Harry Connick Jr tape into 
Klingon...

'But Not For Me'. I. Gershwin/ G. Gershwin.

bang bom lughItlhlu'law'.		They're writing songs of love
'a jIHvaD pagh.				But not for me.
Do' DungDaq boch Hov law'.		The lucky stars above.
'a jIHvaD pagh.				But not for me.
DevDI' muSHa'ghachwIj,			With love to lead the way,
muDortaH 'engmey qIj.			I've found more clouds of gray
'ej 'engvetlh'e' not QIj		than any Russian play
je *SeQpIr* lut.			could guarantee.
