about

This 1929 tune became an instant hit for Fats. I worked out the guitar arrangement back in the mid-1980s and finally, with the little Gibson, had the right place to put it in a collection of tunes. It's a great deal of fun.

lyrics

Ain't Misbehavin' (Fats Waller, Harry Brooks, Andy Razaf)

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 savin’ my love for you.
(For you, for you, 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 savin’ 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 go out late. Don’t care to go.
I’m home about eight, just me and my radio.
Ain’t misbehavin’,
savin’ my love for you.
