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

On the golf course, I'm under par
And Metro Goldwyn's asked me to star
I've got a house, a show place
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 steam just for the sight of you
Baby, what good does it do?

I've been consulted by Franklin D
And Greta Garbo gave me her key
Still I'm broken hearted
'Cause I can't get started with you

In 1929, I sold short
In England, I'm presented at court
But you've got me down hearted
'Cause I can't get started with you
