Got My Own Thing Now Squirrel Nut Zippers

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.
