I've flown around the world in a plane
I've settled revolutions in Spain
The North Pole I have charted
still I can't get started with you

on the golf course, I'm under par
and Metro GOLDWYN'S asked me to star
I've got a house, a show place
still I can't get no place with you

cause you're so supreme
lyrics I write of you
I dream, dream night and day of you
and I steam just for the sight of you
baby what good does it do

I've been consulted by Franklin D
and Greta Garbo gave me her key
still I'm broken hearted
cause I can't get started with you

in 1929 I sold short
in England I'm presented at court
but you've got me down hearted
cause I can't get started with you
