"I Can't Get Started" lyrics

"I Can't Get Started"

(Do-do-do-do do-do-do)
(Do-do-do-do-do-do-wah)

I've flown around the world in a plane
I've settled revolutions in Spain
The North Pole I have charted
Still, I can't get started with you
(Do-do-do-do-do-do-wah)

Around a golf course I'm under par
And all the movies want me to star
I've got a house, a show place
But I get no place with you
(Do-do-do-do-do)

You're so supreme, lyrics I write of you
Scheme, just for the sight of you
Dream, both day and night of you
And what good does it do?

I've got my Jaguar ready to go
I've got a late date with Bridget Bardot
But you've got me downhearted
'Cause I can't get started with you
(Do-do-do-do-do)

When we first met, now you've elated me, pet
You've devastated me
Yet, now you've deflated me
Till you're my Waterloo

I've sold my kisses at a bazaar
And after me they have named a cigar
But lately, now I've smarted
'Cause I can't get started with you
(Do-do-do-do-do)
