Duke Ellington
I Can’t Get Started
[Verse 1]
I've been around the world in a plane
Settled revolutions in Spain
The North Pole I have charted
Still can't get started with you

[Verse 2]
Now on the golf course, I'm under par
Metro Goldwyn wants me to star
Got a house, it's really a showplace
Still can't get started with you

[Bridge]
Now you're so supreme
Yes, lyrics I write of you
Dream both day and night of you
Scheme just for one little sight of you
Tell me darling, what good does it do?

[Verse 3]
Now when old J.P. bows, I just nod
My stepping stones are hearts that I've trod
Siamese twins I've parted
Can't get started with you

[Violin Solo]
[Bridge]
You're still so supreme
Yes, lyrics I write of you
And I dream all day and every night all about you
Scheme just for one little sight of you
Tell me darling, what good does it do?

[Verse 3]
Now when old J.P. bows, I just nod
My stepping stones are hearts that I've trod
Telling you, Siamese twins I've parted
Still can't get started with you
