Shy Lyrics – Once Upon A Mattress Cast

Shy Text

---

Fred: Hey nonny nonny is it you?
Knight: Hey nonny nonny nonny no.
Fred: Hey nonny nonny is it you?
Knight: Hey nonny nonny nonny no.
Fred: Hey nonny nonny is it you or you or you or you or
Dauntless: Nonny nonny noony noony nonny noonny
Queen: NO NO NO!
Fred: Someone's being bashful
That's no way to be
Not with me
Can't you see
That I am just as embarassed 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 air
Is a mask that I wear 'cause I'm shy
And you can be sure
Way down deep I'm demure
Though some people I know may 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 pretend to be strong, but as weak as I am
All I can do is try
God knows I try
Though 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 lady's not as hard to please as she seems
Quite often she will settle for something less than the man of her dreams
I'm going fishing for a mate
Knights: She's going fishing for a mate
Fred: I'm gonna look in every brook
Knights: She's gonna look in every brook
Fred: But how much longer must I wait
With baited breath and hook?
**DANCE BREAK**
Fred: Oh that was WONDERFUL!
And that is why
Though I'm painfully shy
I'm insane to know which sir, You sir?
Knights: Not I sir
Fred: 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
Knights: The lady's one man
All: Shy!
