I Can't Get Started Lyrics - Bunny Berigan

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 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 

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
