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 olderEverything is in full swing.Now I'm getting bolderMan, I've got to do that thing.I used to walk along with the restNow I've got something all my ownNow you've got a little something new.Broke away, somehow.That's why I'm swinging itI've got my own thing now!Children put away your toysAll your little children's games.Let the jazz band make some noiseStep up ladies and watch out boys.'Mirror on the wall,who's the hot band in the hall?'Let everybody singGet on out there and do your thing.
