I Can't Get Started - Charles Mingus, Roy Haynes, Hampton Hawes

Iv’e been around the world in a plane

Settled revolutions in Spain

The North Pole I have charted

But can’t get started with you

And at the golf course I’m under par

Metro-Goldwyn wants me to star

I’ve got a house and a show place

But can’t get no place with you

You’re so supreme

The lyrics I write of you

Dream, dream, day and night of you

Scheme just for the sight of you

Baby but what good dose it do

I’ve been consulted by Franklin D.

Even Gabel had me to tea

But now I’m broken hearted

Can’t get started with you

You’re so supreme

The lyrics I write of you

Dream, dream, day and night of you

Scheme just for the sight of you

But what good does it do

I’ve been consulted by Franklin D.

Even Basic had me to tea

But now I’m broken hearted

Can’t get started with you
