Bidin' My Time 1930 'Girl Crazy'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 08 Feb 2005

Some fellers love to
TipToe Through The Tulips;
Some fellers go on
Singing in The Rain.
Some fellers keep on
Paintin' Skies With Sunshine.
Some fellers keep on
Swingin' Down The Lane.
But

I'm bidin' my time;
'cause that's the kind a guy I'm.
While other folks go dizzy
I keep busy bidin' my time.
Next year, next year,
somethin's bound to happen;
This year, this year,
I'll just keep on nappin'
and bidin' my time
'cause that's the kind a guy I'm.
There's no regrettin'
When I'm settin'
bidin' my time.

I'm bidin' my time;
'cause that's the kind a guy I'm.
Beginnin' on a Monday
right through Sundy,
bidin' my time.
Give me, give me,
glass that's full of tinkle,
Let me, let me,
dream like Rip van Winkle.
He bided his time,
and like that Winkle guy I'm
chasin' 'way flies,
how the day flies,
bidin' my time.

Some fellers love to
Tell It To The Daisies;
Some Stroll
Beneath The Honeysuckle Vines;
Some fellers when they've
Climbed The Highest Mountain
still keep a Cryin' For The Carolines.
But

I'm bidin' my time;
'cause that's the kind a guy I'm.
While other folks go dizzy
I keep busy bidin' my time.
Next year, next year,
somethin's bound to happen;
This year, this year,
I'll just keep on nappin'
and bidin' my time
'cause that's the kind a guy I'm.
There's no regrettin'
When I'm settin'
bidin' my time.

I'm bidin' my time;
'cause that's the kind a guy I'm.
Beginnin' on a Monday
right through Sundy,
bidin' my time.
Give me, give me,
glass that's full of tinkle,
Let me, let me,
dream like Rip van Winkle.
He bided his time,
and like that Winkle guy I'm
chasin' 'way flies,
how the day flies,
bidin' my time.
