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

On the golf course, I'm under par 
Metro Goldwyn have asked me to star 
I've got a house, a showplace 
Still I can't get no place with you 

'Cause you're so supreme 
Lyrics I write of you, I dream 
Dream day and night of you 
And I scheme just for the sight of you 
Baby, what good does it do? 

I've been consulted by Franklin D 
Greta Garbo has had me to tea 
Still I'm broken-hearted 

'Cause I can't get started with you
