Lyrics

Anyway, you asked for a princess—here I am!
Who's the lucky guy?
Hey, nonny, nonny, is it you?
Hey nonny—
Nonny—
Nonny—
No!
Hey nonny, nonny is it you?
Hey nonny, nonny, nonny, no!
Hey, nonny, nonny, is it you, or you, or you, or you, or—
Nanny, nenny, nonny, nanny, nenny, nonny, nonny—
No, no, no!
Someone's being bashful
That's no way to be
Not with me
Can't you see—
That I am just as embarrassed as you?
And I can understand your point of view
I've always been
Shy
I confess it
I'm shy!
Can't you guess that this confident air
Is a mask that I wear
'Cause I'm shy?
And you may be sure
Way down deep I'm demure!
Though some people I know might deny it
At bottom I'm quiet!
And pure
I'm aware that it's wrong
To be meek as I am
My chances may pass me by
I pretend to be strong
But as weak as I am
All I can do is try
God knows I try!
Though I'm frightened and shy!
And despite the impression I give
I confess that I'm living a lie
Because I'm actually terribly timid
And ho—rribly
Shy
Though a lady may be dripping with glamour
As often as not
She'll stumble and stammer
When suddenly confronted with romance
And she's likely to fall on her face
When she's finally face-to-face with a pair of pants
Quite often
The lady's not as hard to please as she seems
Quite often
She'll settle for something less than the man of her dreams
I'm going fishing for a mate!
She's going fishing for a mate!
I'm gonna look in ev'ry brook!
She's gonna look in ev'ry brook!
But how must longer must I wait
With baited breath and hook?
Dance break!
Oh, that was wonderful!
Woo!
And that is why
Though I'm painfully shy
I'm insane to know which sir
You, sir?
Not I, sir!
Then who, sir?
Where, sir?
And when, sir?
I couldn't be tenser
So let's get this done, man
Get on with the fun, man
I am one man
The lady is one man
Shy!
