Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 Around the golf course I'm under par And Metro-Goldwyn wants me to star I've got a house and a show place But can't 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 2] I've been consulted by Franklin D Robert Taylor has had me to tea And yet, I'm broken hearted Can't get started with you [Saxophone Solo] [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 3] When J.P. Morgan bows I just nod Green Pastures wanted me to play God The Siamese twins I've parted Can't get started with you
