Louis Jordan
I Can’t Get Started
[Instrumental]

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

The leadin' tailors follow my style
And toothpaste ads all feature my smile
I've got a house in showplace
But I can't get no place
With you

You're so supreme
Lyrics I write of you
And I scheme
Just for the sight you
I dream
All day and night of you
But what good does it do?

In 1929 I sold short
In England I'm presented at court
Ah, but you got me downhearted
'Cause I can't get started
With you
Thank you, Louis, thank you
