Got My Own Thing Now Lyrics - Squirrel Nut Zippers

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 older 

Everything is in full swing. 

Now I'm getting bolder 

Man, I've got to do that thing. 

I used to walk along with the rest 

Now I've got something all my own 

Now you've got a little something new. 

Broke away, somehow. 

That's why I'm swinging it 

I've got my own thing 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 

Get on out there and do your thing.
