Shy

Anyway, you asked for a princess—here I am! Who's the lucky guy?

(sung)

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 of 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 going to look in ev'ry brook!

She's going to look in ev'ry brook!

But how must longer must I wait

With baited breath and hook?

(spoken)

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!
