I'm Shy Mary Ellen I'm Shy

I'm Shy, Mary Ellen, I'm Shy - Frankie Vaughan

I've courted Mary Ellen

For fourteen solid years

But she made me blush when she

One night boldly said to me

You've never kissed me once Frank

Though 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 arms 'round my waist

I promise I won't scream or cry

So you do the kissing and cuddling instead

'Cause 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

Oh 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
