Once Upon a Mattress- Shy

This is one of the best songs ever. It is great for tryouts. So cool. Love it.

(Winifred) Hey nonny nonny is it you?

(Hey nonny nonny noony 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-

(Dauntles) Noony neeny nonny nonny-

(Queen) 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 you 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 would 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 try to be strong,

But as week as I am,

All I can do is try-

God knows I try! Though I'm frightened ans 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

More often then 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.

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?

And that is why, though I'm painfully shy,

I'm insane to know which sir. You sir?

(Man) Not I, sir!

(Winifred) Then who, sir? When sir, and where sir?
I couldn't be tense sir.

So lets get this done man, get on with the show man!

I am one man.

(The lady is one man!)

Shy!
