Lyrics: Jack Murphy



George Washington began a revolution

Which started something called the Constitution

Then all those pioneers with resolution

Progressed...Due West



There's always someone finding a beginning

An Eve to tempt poor Adam into sinning

A doubleday to say: three outs per inning

That's all...Play ball



I was all through with romance

Figured love was kaput

No more pretending, no happy ending

Then like a bolt from the blue

You walked into my life

Clever and charming, slightly alarming

Just when I thought that my love life was all past tense

Suddenly you start making sense



I was prepared to simply call it a day

Ready for love to turn the lights out

Then all my reasons found your rhyme

In the nick of time

Looks like you started something now I wasn't ready for this

Was content all alone

Studio flat, sir, maybe a cat, sir

Hey, this is now that was then

I'm in business again

Using your razor, driving your blazer

Just when I thought my libido was fireproof

You fan my flames right through the roof



You are the lightening striking Ben Franklin's kite

You are the Kitty-Hawk of romance

You are Columbus setting out

'Cause without a doubt

Looks like you started somethin' now



I sense a brand new beginning

Something akin to break of day

You are the start of a new career

You're the crowing of Chanticleer

Saying: "Wake up and smell the coffee"



I don't know where we're going or for how long

So I'll rely on fundamentals:

'Cause if a kiss is still a kiss

Let's not finish this

Looks like you started somethin'...

You really started something'...

Looks like you started somethin' now!
