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, Im getting older
And everything is in full swing
Now, Im getting bolder
Boy, you've got to do that thing

Used to walk along
With the rest
Got something
All my own

Oh baby, youve got
A little something
That I knew
Got a little something new
Got a little something new

Broke away, somehow
Thats why Im swinging it
Got my own thing now

Now, children put away your toys
All your little childrens games
Let the jazz band
Make some noise

Step up ladies
And watch out boys
Mirror on the wall
Whos the hot band in the hall?

Let everybody sing
Boy, you've got to do that thing

Used to walk along
With the rest
Got something
All my own

Oh baby, youve got
A little something
That I knew
Got a little something new
Got a little something new

Broke away, somehow
Everybody said so
That's why Im swinging it
