I Can't Get Started

Mabel Mercer (3 February 1900 – 20 April 1984) was an English-born cabaret singer who performed in the United States, Britain, and Europe with the greats in jazz and cabaret. She was a featured performer at Chez Bricktop in Paris, owned by the hostess Bricktop, and performed in such clubs as Le Ruban Bleu, Tony's, the RSVP, the Carlyle, the St. Regis Hotel, and eventually her own room, the Byline Club. Among those who frequently attended Mercer's shows was Frank Sinatra, who made no secret of his emulating her phrasing and story-telling techniques. more »

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
