---------------------------------------------
I'm a glum one, it's explainable,
I met someone unattainable
Life's a bore, the world is my
oyster no more
All the papers where I lead the
news with my capers, now will spread the news
Superman turns out to be
flash-in-the-pan
I've been around the world in a
plane, designed the latest IBM brain
But lately I'm so downhearted,
'cause I can't get started with you
In Cincinatti or in Rangoon, I
simply smile and all the gals swoon
Their whims I've more than just
charted, but I can't get started with you
O 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
Each time I chanced to see
Franklin D., he always said, Hi buddy to me
And with queens I've a la carted, but I can't get started with you
