TOO BUSY
(Chester Cohn / Ned Miller)

as recorded by Kay Starr
with Hal Mooney & his Orchestra
January 17th 1952 Los Angeles



BUSY, busy,
You keep me busy!
Never call me,
All you do is scold me!

Too busy for my lovin',
A-too busy for my pettin',
That is all I've been a-gettin' from you!
Once more, and I'm not lyin',
I've noticed you've been tryin'
Hard to shake me, and it's makin' me blue!

I can't understand your action,
But I'll get my satisfaction,
Don't you worry, just you wait and see, dear!
Wait till you want me, honey,
And then it won't be so funny
When I say I'm too busy for you!

You're too busy for my lovin',
A-too busy for my pettin',
That is all I've been a-gettin' from you!
Once more, and I'm not lyin',
I've noticed lately you've been tryin'
Hard to shake me, and it's makin' me blue!

I can't understand your action,
But I'll get my satisfaction,
Don't you worry, just you wait and see, dear!
Wait till you want me, honey,
Then you won't think that it's so funny!
Let me say it's aggravatin',
Hear me say I'm not a-waitin',
From now on I'm gonna be busy to you!
