Ain't Misbehavin'
|

|
Fats Waller is reputed to have dashed off "Ain't Misbehavin'" in 45 minutes. But, almost always broke, he sold it even faster. In one moment of desperation, he sold his rights to it, and to 18 other songs, for $500. Louis Armstrong introduced "Ain't Misbehavin'" in a 1929 Broadway revue, Hot Chocolates. It showed up again on Broadway in 1978 in Ain't Misbehavin', a show composed of music associated with pianist-composer Waller.
Words by Andy Razaf.
Music by Thomas "Fats" Waller and Harry Brooks.

No one to talk with,
All by myself,
No one to walk with,
But I'm happy on the shelf.
Ain't misbehavin';
I'm saving my love for you.
I know for certain
The one I love.
I'm through with flirtin';
It's just you I'm thinkin' of.
Ain't misbehavin';
I'm saving my love for you.
Like Jack Horner
In the corner,
Don't go nowhere,
What do I care?
Your kisses are worth waitin' for,
Believe me.
I don't stay out late,
Don't care to go;
I'm home about eight,
Just me and my radio.
Ain't misbehavin';
I'm saving my love for you.
