Lyrics Shy - The 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, knowny, neenee, nonny, knowny, neenee)
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 that I'm shy
Can't you guess that this confident heir
Is a mask that I wear cause I'm shy
And you may be sure
Way down deep I'm demeure
Most the people I know might deny it
And thought of I quiet and pure
I'm aware that it's wrong
To be meek as I am
My chances may pass me by
I pretend to be strong
But as weak as I am
All I can do is try, god knows I try
Oh 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 ladies 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 for a mate)
I'm gonna look in every brook (she's gunna look in every brook)
But how much longer must 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 shy
