I Can't Get Started - Stéphane Grappelli, Joe Pass, Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen

I’m a glum one

It’s explainable

I’ve 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 turned out to be

A flash-in-the-pan

I’ve flown around the world in a plane

I’ve settled revolutions in Spain

The North Pole I have charted

But I can’t get started with you

Around the golf course I’m under par

And all the movies want me to star

I’ve built a house and show place

But I can’t get no place with you

You’re so supreme

Lyrics that I write of you

Scheme, just for a sight of you

And I dream both day and night of you

And what good does it do In 1929, I sold short

In London, I’m presented at court

But you’ve got me down hearted,

Cause I can’t get started with you

You’re so supreme

Lyrics that I write of you

Scheme, just for a sight of you

And I dream both day and night of you

And what good does it do In 1929, I sold short

In London, I’m presented at court

But you’ve got me down hearted,

Cause I can’t get started with you, with you
