I Can't Get Started

Ira Gershwin / Vernon Duke

I've flown around the world in a plane
I've settled revolutions in Spain
The North Pole I have charted
But 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?

I Can't Get Started

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?

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

I Can't Get Started

アイラ・ガーシュウィン作詞、ヴァーノン・デューク作曲だったが、１９３６年の映画「ジーグフェルド・フォリーズ」でボブ・ホープが歌い、その後バニー・ベリガンのトランペット演奏で有名になった曲らしい。
Max Roach & Clifford Brown、 Frank Sinatra、Chet Baker、Charlie Parker、がいいかな。
