What's he going to do?
Concept: Carol Cayley. Lyrics: Rob Walker.© positivespin 2002: From the album innov8



There was a kid
Who was awful shy
When others passed
He'd run and hide

He'd blush a lot
His face went red
He'd shuffle his feet
And hang his head

(CHORUS)
He's shy Real shy. Awful shy
What's he gonna do?

The kid was shy
But he had guts
He just couldn't wait
No ifs or buts

He needed change
The time was now
Time for change
He wondered how?

He saw a kid who wandered by
He took a breath
And just said "Hi.

" Hey! He did it! He said "Hello"
To a kid he didn't know!
That's the way to go!

This other kid Didn't make a sound
He just kept staring
Right at the ground
He didn't know what to say
He didn't know what to do
His problem was-
He was shy too

(CHORUS)
Well the first kid there
He wasn't gonna give in
You could've heard
The drop of a pin

So he repeated himself
And met his eye
And the second kid
Just said "Hi!"

Hey! It worked!
He didn't quit!
(It pays to persist)
Now what's he gonna do?

Well, they'd broken the ice
And started to chat
About CDs and movies
(And each other's cat.)

So that's the way my story ends
They had heaps in common
They became good friend

(CHORUS)

But they still made a friend...
