Lyrics:

I Guess I'll Have To Change My Plan
Tony Bennett
Words by Howard Dietz and Music by Arthur Schwartz

From his "Strike Up the Band" LP with Count Basie: Roulette 25231
This version did not chart but
In 1930 two versions did chart: Rudy Vallee at # 2 and Guy Lombardo at # 11.
Sung in the revue "The Little Show" by Clifton Webb
Sung in the 1953 film "The Band Wagon" by Fred Astaire and Jack Buchanan


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 I'd found

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
The one girl I'd found
