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 been 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
