So Shy 1933

Tho' you're sweeter than a honey bee,
You're bad.
Don't you make those bashful eyes at me,
you're bad.
You're always makin' trouble,
I know what it's about,
Don't you think you're foolin' me,
I can't help you out.

So shy,
you can't even look your mammy in the eye,
'cause you went and stole a hunk o' punkin' pie,
that's why you're shy,
So shy,
when you're eatin' water melon on the sly,
always takin' brother's piece of chicken fry,
that's why you're shy.
You ain't gonna grow up into nothin'
makin' eyes all over the place,
anybody who amounts to somethin'
always looks the world in the face.
So shy,
say you're sorry,
cross your heart and hope to die,
and I'll never, never
tell your daddy why you're shy,
so shy.

So shy,
you can't even look your mammy in the eye,
'cause you went and stole a hunk o' punkin' pie,
that's why you're shy,
So shy,
when you're eatin' water melon on the sly,
always takin' brother's piece of chicken fry,
that's why you're shy.
You ain't gonna grow up into nothin'
makin' eyes all over the place,
anybody who amounts to somethin'
always looks the world in the face.
So shy,
say you're sorry,
cross your heart and hope to die,
and I'll never, never
tell your daddy why you're shy,
so shy.

Ev'ry minute you find some new game,
It's true.
Mischief seems to be your middle name,
It's true.
Don't try and look so innocent,
it's not the slightest use,
Tho' you've got an angel smile.
That ain't no excuse.

So shy,
you can't even look your mammy in the eye,
'cause you went and stole a hunk o' punkin' pie,
that's why you're shy,
So shy,
when you're eatin' water melon on the sly,
always takin' brother's piece of chicken fry,
that's why you're shy.
You ain't gonna grow up into nothin'
makin' eyes all over the place,
anybody who amounts to somethin'
always looks the world in the face.
So shy,
say you're sorry,
cross your heart and hope to die,
and I'll never, never
tell your daddy why you're shy,
so shy.

So shy,
you can't even look your mammy in the eye,
'cause you went and stole a hunk o' punkin' pie,
that's why you're shy,
So shy,
when you're eatin' water melon on the sly,
always takin' brother's piece of chicken fry,
that's why you're shy.
You ain't gonna grow up into nothin'
makin' eyes all over the place,
anybody who amounts to somethin'
always looks the world in the face.
So shy,
say you're sorry,
cross your heart and hope to die,
and I'll never, never
tell your daddy why you're shy,
so shy.
