Too Busy

Lyrics

[Ensemble instrumental intro] [Preamble] Why do you keep avoiding me? I confess it's annoying me Honestly it's so aggravating Won't you tell me just what to do When I ask for a kiss or two You say, "no, not now dear"; somehow, dear [Verse 1] You're always too busy for my lovin' Too busy for my pettin' That is all that I've been getting from you [Verse 2] Once more and I'm not lyin' I've noticed you've been tryin' Hard to shake me and it's making me blue [Bridge] I can't understand your actions But I'll get my satisfaction Don't you worry, just you wait and see dear [Verse 3] Wait till you want me honey Then it won't be so funny When I say that I'm too busy for you [Trumpet 8-bar solo: Louis Armstrong] [Piano 8-bar solo: Earl Hines] [Clarinet 8-bar solo: Jimmy Noone] [Trumpet 8-bar solo: Louis Armstrong] [Repeat as vocal duet, with Louis Armstrong scatting behind Lillie:] [Verse 1] Too busy for my lovin' Too busy for my pettin' That is all that I've been getting from you [Verse 2] Once more and I'm not lyin' I've noticed you've been tryin' Hard to shake me and it's making me bluе [Bridge] I can't understand your actions But I'll get my satisfaction Don't you worry just you wait and see [Verse 3] Wait till you want me honеy Then it won't be so funny When I say that I'm too busy for you
