Lyrics
His hair is never right
His acne looks a sight
The clothes he buys don't fit tight
Everybody puts him down
And calls him shy boy
(Shy boy, shy boy, shy boy)
The girl he's always known
Lives just across the road
She thinks he's super
Her whole world is the little shy boy
Shy boy
Shy boy
She is very thin
Has freckles on her skin
And her hair is mousy
Wears glasses, takes evening classes
Never dances
But in the firm he works
Amongst the small-time clerks
The new girls sit typing
And underneath the desk
A pair of slender legs
Naughty boy
Shy boy
Shy boy
He makes her tea at ten
And then at three again
He buys her biscuits
The cup she's drinking from
He pours a special one
To a knife (to a knife, to a knife, to a knife)
And then he went shopping
And bought a little ring
He shouldn't have done
Such a sad thing
She's already wearing one
Shy boy
Shy boy
Shy boy
