1963 (36th Annual Awards, 30th Best Song)
Best Song Lyric


Call Me Irresponsible
Seems I’m always making resolutions.
Like ev’ry night for me is New Year’s Eve.
Things they chisel on those institutions;
The lofty thoughts I never quite achieve.

Each time I’m taking bows ’cause ev’rything went well
Things go awry, and there am I saying I meant well.

Call me irresponsible, call me unreliable, throw in undependable too.
Do my foolish alibis bore you?
Well, I’m not too clever.
I just adore you.

Call me unpredictable, tell me I’m impractical, rainbows I’m inclined to pursue.
Call me irresponsible, yes, I’m unreliable, but it’s undeniably true,
I’m irresponsibly mad for you!
