i'm shy mary ellen i'm shy - bob wallis and his storyville jazzmen lyrics

i’m shy mary ellen i’m shy lyrics
i courted mary ellen
for fourteen solid years
but she made me blush when she
one night boldly said to me
“you’ve never kiss’d me once, john
tho’ i’d like you to”, she sighed;
“why don’t you call me pretty names?”
i hung my head and cried

“i’m shy mary ellen, i’m shy
it does seem so naughty, oh, my!
kissing is nicey, i’ve often heard say
but still how to do it i don’t know the way
so you put your arm round my waist
i promise i won’t scream or cry
so you do the kissing and cuddling instead
‘cos i’m shy, mary ellen, i’m shy”

last year with mary ellen
to lowestoft i went
mary ellen said to me
“i’m going bathing in the sеa
so while i go and have a splash
wherе all the ladies go
you go and have a bathe amongst the men”
i said, no, no!”
“i’m shy mary ellen, i’m shy
it does seem so naughty, oh, my!
men are so rough and i’m sure they will stare
they’ll splash me, and duck me, if i go in there
the girls ain’t so rough as the men
they wouldn’t duck me, or try
so i’d rather bathe here along with the girls
‘cos i’m shy, mary ellen, i’m shy”

while out with mary ellen
we met a six foot man
“that’s the saucy scamp” said she
who last week insulted me
now just you thrash the massive brute”
i looked at his six feet
she said, “take your coat off
but i said, “what, in the street?”

“i’m shy mary ellen, i’m shy
it would look so naughty, oh, my!
i said as i looked at that great hunking chap
if it wasn’t for one thing i’d give him a slap
but look at the ladies about
they’d all stop to look and, and oh, my!
if i take my coat off they’ll see all my shirt
and i’m shy, mary ellen, i’m shy”
to marry mary ellen
i went to church one morn
while the party with the bride
went to church, i stood outside
for quite an hour i stood there while
she waited to be wed
then she came out and said, “come on”
“i don’t like to”, i said

“i’m shy mary ellen, i’m shy
it does seem so naughty, oh, my!
but still we got married and got home alright
and kept up the fun with our friends until night
then they wish’d mary ellen goodbye
and they started to go, so did i!
then she said, “you’re not going!”, i said yes i am
‘cos i’m shy, mary ellen, i’m shy”
