Bidin' My Time
Ella Fitzgerald · Other Songs - Ella Fitzgerald
'Cause that's the kinda guy I'm
While other folks grow dizzy
I keep busy
Bidin' My Time.
Next year, next year,
Somethin's bound to happen;
This year, this year,
I'll just keep on nappin'
And Bidin' My Time
'Cause that's the kinda guy I'm.
There's no regrettin'
When I'm settin'
Bidin' My Time.
