Shy - 1959 Original Broadway Cast

Well, 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, nony, neeny, nonny, nony, 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 might 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 much I wait?
With baited breath and hook

Oh, 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 (the lady is one man)
