Got My Own Thing Now — текст песни (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
I swear I had my mind made up.
Now I`m getting older
Everything is in full swing.
Now I`m getting bolder
Man I`ve got to do that thing.
I used to walk along with the rest
Now I`ve got something all my own
Now 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.
