Lyric Got My Own Thing Now
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.
