I Can't Get Started - Frank Sinatra, Gordon Jenkins

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
