"Got My Own Thing Now" lyrics

When I was a lad, I was a little bit shy
Somethin' came along and caught my eye
When I heard the jazz band strike up
Swear I had my mind made up
Now I'm gettin' older
And everything's in full swing
Now I'm gettin' bolder
Boy, you gotta do that thing

Used to walk along with the rest
Got something all my own
Oh, baby, you got a little somethin'
Darlin', you got a little somethin' new
Got a little somethin' new
Broke away somehow, mmm
That's why I'm swingin' it
Got my own thing now

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
Boy, you gotta do that thing

Used to walk along with the rest
Got something all my own
Oh, baby, you got a little somethin'
Darlin', you got a little somethin' new
(Got a little somethin' new)
Broke away so (Broke away somehow)
Everybody say so
That's why I'm swingin' it
Shoo-bop Shoo-bop Shoo-bop Shoo-bop Shoo-doo Wop
