I Can’t Get Started

[Verse 1]
I've flown around the world in a plane
I'm known from California to Maine
With kings I've à la carted
But can't get started with you

[Verse 2]
Around a golf course I'm under par
And all the movies want me to star
I've got a house, a showplace
But I get no place with you

[Bridge]
You're so supreme
Lyrics I write of you
Scheme
Just for a sight of you
Dream
Both day and night of you
And what good does it do?

[Verse 3]
The market trembles when I sell short
In England, I'm presented at court
But you've got me downhearted
'Cause I can't get started with you

[Interlude]
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
"Super Gal
Is Punchy and Losing Morale!"

[Verse 4]
When I sell kisses at a bazaar
The wolves line up from nearby and far
Their methods I have charted
But can't get started with you

[Verse 5]
The millionaires that I have turned down
Would stretch from London to New York town
The upper crust I visit
But say, what is it with you?

[Bridge]
When first we met
How you elated me
Pet
You devastated me
Yet
Now you've deflated me
'Til you're my Waterloo

[Verse 6]
Through beauty columns ask my advice
Though I was "Miss America" twice
Still you've got me outsmarted
'Cause I can't get started with you

[Verse 7]
The Himalaya mountains I climb
I'm written up in Fortune and Time
I dig the Fourth Dimension
But no attention from you

[Verse 8]
There's always "Best regards and much love"
From Mr. Dewey—you know, the Gov
I'm there at every state ball
But behind the eight ball with you

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 9]
Good grief, I'm not exactly a clod
Green Pastures wants me to play God!
The Siamese twins I've parted
But I can't get started with you
