Lyrics

When I was a lad I was a little bit shy
Something came along and caught my eye
When I heard the jazz band strike up
That's when I had my mind made up
Now I'm getting older and
Everything is in full swing
Now I'm getting bolder
Get on out there and do your thing
I used to walk along with the rest
Now I've got something all my own
Yes, yes you've got a little something new
Darling you've got a little something new
Broke away somehow, that's why I'm swinging it
I've got my own thing now!
Children put away your toys
All your little children's games
Let the jazz band make some noise
Step up ladies and watch out boys
Mirror on the wall
Who's the hot band in the hall?
Let everybody sing
Get on out there and do your thing
