Lyrics

(Verse)
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 led the news
With my capers
Now will spread the news
"Superman
Turns Out to Be Flash in the Pan!"
(Chorus)
I've flown around the world in a plane
I've settled revolutions in Spain
The North Pole I have charted, but I can't get
Started with you
Around the 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
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?
In 1929 I sold short
In England I'm presented at court
But you've got me downhearted, cause I can't get
Started with you
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?
Written by: Dizzy Gillespie, Frank Paparelli, Ira Gershwin, Vernon Duke
