Once Upon a Mattress (New Broadway Cast Recording (1996))
Shy
(All right I was a little anxious! my friend... Sir Harry... He said you had an opening for a princess, any princess... I figured, the early bird! Ooohh, anyways, here I am! Who's the lucky man?)
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 nonny neeny noony)
(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 'cuz 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 horribly shy
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
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
(insert dance break)
(That was wonderful!)
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
