Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, who's the lucky man?
[Verse 2]
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
Nonny, nony, neeny, nonny, nony, nonny
No, no, no
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
I've always been shy
I confess that 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 livin' a lie
Because I'm actually terribly timid
And horribly shy
[Verse 5]
Though a lady may be dripping with glamour
As often as not, she will 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
[Verse 6]
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 every brook
(She's gonna look in every brook)
But, how much longer must I wait
With baited breath and hook
[Verse 7]
Oh, that was WONDERFUL
[Verse 8]
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, then
Get on with the fun, man
I am one man
(The lady's one man)
Shy
