Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been around the world in a plane
Settled revolutions in Spain
The North Pole I have charted
But still can't get started with you
And now on the golf course, I'm under par
Metro-Goldwyn wants me to star
I've got a house, it's really a show place
Still can't get started with you
[Verse 2]
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?
Now when O.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
[Verse 3]
You're still so supreme
Yes, lyrics I write of you
And I dream all day and every night about you
Scheme just for one little sight of you
Tell me, darling, what good does it do?
Now when O.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
Written by: Dizzy Gillespie, Frank Paparelli, Ira Gershwin, Vernon Duke
