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 led the news

With my capers

Now will spread the news

Superman

Turns out to be flash in the pan

I've flown 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 Cincinnati

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

Oh, 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
