Shy shy girl 
Standing with the wallflowers 
Wishing you had stayed at home 
You kick yourself for coming 
When you're standing there all alone 
The centers of attention 
Are busy making all their moves 

While all the guys are looking at them 
I've got my eye on you 
Only you 
You might think you're nothing special 
You might be losing heart 
But baby don't you realize 

How beautiful you really are 
Shy girl 
It?s written on your face 
A mermaid out of water 
Feeling out of place 
Shy girl 

Trying to hide a blush 
Caught you looking for a second 
Felt my heart rush 
don't run away 
don't be afraid 
don't be shy girl 
So beautiful 

Shy shy girl 
I'm moving in closer 
Slowly trying to break the ice 
But it?s hard to get a lock 
On your downward glancing eyes 
You might think you're nothing special 
But I'm about to lose heart 
But baby don't you realize 

How beautiful you really are 
Chorus 
Now I'm standing right in front of you 
I confess I'm nervous too 
Girl you know there something going on 
And not to give a chance 
Would be so wrong 

Shy girl 
It?s written on your face 
A mermaid out of water 
Feeling out of place 
Shy girl 
Trying to hide a blush 

Pretending that there's nothing 
Between the two of us 
don't run away 
don't be afraid 
don't be shy girl 
Chorus to fade

QUEEN: You swam the moat? WINNIFRED: Alright, I was a little anxious! My friend Sir Harry, He told me you had an opening for a princess, Any princess! I figured, the early bird... Ah, anyway, here I am! Who′s the lucky man? Hey nonny nonny is it you? KNIGHT #1: Hey nonny nonny no. WINNIFRED: Hey nonny nonny is it you? KNIGHT #2: Hey nonny nonny no. WINNIFRED: Hey nonny nonny is it you or you or you or you or DAUNTLESS: Nonny, nonny, nonny, nonny, nonny QUEEN: NO, NO, NO! WINIFRED: Someone's being bashful That′s no way to be Not with me Can't you see? That I am just as embarrased as you And I can understand your point of view. I've Always Been... (Loudly) SHY!!!! I confess it I′m shy! Can′t you guess that this confident air Is a mask that I wear Cause I'm shy? And you can be sure Way down deep I′m demure! Though some people I know might deny it At bottom I'm quiet and pure I′m aware that it's wrong To be meek as I am My chances may pass me by I pretend to be strong But as weak as I am All I can do is try God knows I try Though I′m frightened and shy And despite the impression I give I confess that I'm living a lie. Because I'm actually terribly timid And HORRIBLY shy. Though a lady may be dripping with glamour As often as not she will stumble and stammer When suddenly confronted with romance And she′s likely to fall on her face When she′s finally face to face With a pair of pants Quite often a lady's not as hard to please as she seems Quite often she′ll settle for something less Than the man of her dreams! I'm going fishing for a mate KNIGHTS: (She′s going fishing for a mate) WINNIFRED: I'm gonna look in every brook KNIGHTS: (She′s gonna look in every brook) WINNIFRED: But how much longer must I wait With baited breath and hook? Oh, that was WONDERFUL!! And that is why Though I'm painfully shy I'm insane to know which sir You sir? KNIGHTS: Not I sir. WINNIFRED: Then who sir? Where sir? and When sir? I couldn′t be tenser So let′s get it done man Get on with the fun man I am one man KNIGHTS: The lady is one man ALL: SHY!!

Writer(s): Mary Rogers, Marshall Barer

WINNIFRED
Someone's being bashful
That's no way to be
Not with me, can't you see
That I am just as embarrassed as you?
And I can understand your point of view
I've always been...

Shy!
I confess it, I'm shy!
Can't you guess that this confident air
Is a mask that I wear
Cause I'm shy?
And you may be sure
Way down deep I'm demure
Though some people I know might deny it
At bottom I'm quiet and pure!

I'm aware that it's wrong
To be meek as I am
My chances may pass me by
I pretend to be strong
But as weak as I am
All I can do is try

God knows I try
Though I'm frightened and shy
And despite the impression I give
I confess that I'm living a lie...
Because I'm actually terribly timid
And horribly shy...

Though a lady may be dripping with glamor
As often as not she'll stumble and stammer
When suddenly confronted with romance
And she's likely to fall on her face
When she's finally face to face
With a pair of pants

Quite often the lady's not
As hard to please as she seems
Quite often she'll settle for something less
Than the man of her dreams...

I'm going fishing for a mate!

KNIGHTS
She's going fishing for a mate!

WINNIFRED
I'm going to look in every brook!

KNIGHTS
She's going to look in every brook!

WINNIFRED
But how much longer must I wait
With baited breath and hook?

And that is why
Though I'm painfully shy
I'm insane to know which Sir...
You, sir?

KNIGHTS
Not I, sir!

WINNIFRED
Then who, sir?
Where, sir, and when, sir?
I couldn't be tenser
So let's get this done, man
Get on with the fun, man
I am one man...

KNIGHTS
The lady is one man...

WINNIFRED & KNIGHTS
Shy!!!
