I Can't Get Started

I'm a glum one

It's explainable

I met someone unattainable

Life's a bore

The world is my oyster no more

All the papers where I lead the news with my capers

Now will spread the news

Superman turns out to be flash-in-the-pan

I've flown around the world in a plane

Designed the latest IBM brain

But lately I'm so downhearted

'Cause I can't get started with you

In Cincinatti or in Rangoon

I simply smile

And all the gals swoon

Their whims I've more than just charted

But I can't get started with you

O tell me why

Am I no kick to you

I who'd always stick to you

Fly through thin and thick to you

Tell me why I'm taboo

Each time I chanced

To see Franklin D.

He always said

'Hi Buddy' to me

And with queens

I've a la carted

But I can't get started with you
