Benny Goodman - Shady Lady Bird lyrics

I'm gonna be a shady lady bird I got an awful lot to learn But if you tell me that my heart's on fire I'm gonna let it burn I'm gonna be a shockin' mockin' bird I'm gonna mingle with the best I'm gonna try to find my heart's desire I'm gonna rob the nest Just like little miss muffett Eating her whey and curds When I act a bit tough I frighten away the birds I'm gonna be a slummin' hummin' bird I'm gonna pa** along the word I'm gonna have my fun and never tire And if my technique seems absurd That's because I've never been A shady lady bird (Musical Break) I'm gonna be a shady lady bird I hope the payment is deferred For if I fly back safely to my perch And find the worst has not occurred That's because I've never been A shady lady bird
