Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm a glum one
It's explainable
I met someone
Unattainable
[Verse 2]
Life's a bore
The world is my oyster no more
[Verse 3]
All the papers
Where I led the news
With my capers
Now will spread the news
[Verse 4]
Superman
Turns out to be flash in the pan
[Verse 5]
I've flown around the world
In a plane
Designed the latest IBM brain
[Verse 6]
But lately
I'm so downhearted
'Cause I can't get started with you
[Verse 7]
In Cincinnati
Or in Rangoon
I simply smile
And all the gals swoon
[Verse 8]
Their whims, I've more than just charted
But I can't get started with you
[Verse 9]
Oh, 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
[Verse 10]
Each time I chanced to see Franklin D.
He always said
"Hi, buddy," to me
[Verse 11]
And with queens
I've a la carted
But I can't get started with you
Written by: Dizzy Gillespie, Frank Paparelli, Ira Gershwin, Vernon Duke
