[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
