I Can’t Get Started Songtext
von Count Basie and His Orchestra

I′ve been around the world in a plane
Settled revolutions in Spain
The North Pole I have charted
But can't get started with you
And at the golf course I′m under par
Metro Goldwyn wants me to star
I've got a house and a show place
But can't get no place with you
You′re so supreme
The lyrics I write of you
Dream, dream day and night of you
Scheme just for the sight of you
But what good will it do?


I′ve been consulted by Franklin D
Even Gable had me to tea
But now I'm broken hearted
Can′t get started with you
You're so supreme
The lyrics I write of you
Dream, dream day and night of you
Scheme just for the sight of you
But what good does it do?
I′ve been consulted by Franklin D
Even Basie had me to tea
But now I'm broken hearted
Can′t get started with you
