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 lead the news With my capers Now will spread the news Superman Turns out to be flash-in-the-pan I´ve been around the world in a plane Designed the latest IBM brain But lately I´m so downhearted ´Cause I can´t get started with you In Cincinatti Or in Rangoon I simply smile And all the gals swoon Their whims I´ve more than just charted
But I can´t get started with you O 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 Each time I chanced To see Franklin D He always said Hi buddy to me And with queens I´ve a la carted But I can´t get started With you
