“I Can’t Get Started” was originally composed for The Ziegfeld Follies of 1936, a Broadway show starring Bob Hope, Fanny Brice, and Eve Arden. Gershwin intended the lyrics to be a “list” song, itemizing accomplishments in the hopes of impressing a reluctant would-be partner.
The Gershwin lyrics wer...
I've been around the world in a plane
I've settled revolutions in Spain
The North Pole I have charted
But man I 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
Baby but what good dose 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
