Too Busy Lillie Delk Christian (Ft. Louis Armstrong & His Hot Four)

[Ensemble instrumental]

[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
