I'M SHY-1941
 from film SPARE A COPPER

Im just dumb, the words wont come, my tongue I cannot find,
I feel so scared, Ive never dared, to say whats on my mind.
Why cant I, tell you the way I feel, let loose my sex appeal
Why? Because Im shy.

Why cant I, make love like other guys, flash with my wicked eyes,
Why? Because Im shy
Oh what a sin if I never win my ideal,
Youll never guess and I cant express how I feel, terribly bashful
Why cant I? Do what a lover should, start while the goings good,
Why? Because Im shy.
Why cant I, kiss girls and run away, make love another day
Why? Because Im shy.

Why cant I, go after big romance kiss girls and take a chance
Why? Because Im shy.
Oh what a sin if I never win my ideal,
Youll never guess and I cant express how I feel, terribly bashful

Why cant I, set flappers hearts afire, fill em with mad desire,
Why? Because Im shy.

Extra couplet
Why cant I, sunbathe without my clothes,
Show off these and those,
Why? Because Im shy.
