STAYIN' AT HOME, HAPPY TO BE BY MYSELF Words by Andy Razaf; music by Thomas "Fats" Waller. ©1940. As recorded by Fats Waller and His Rhythm, 1940. Got you on my mind. Don't care to step out. I'm easy to find When you're not about, Just staying at home, happy to be by myself. I've got to knock wood. I've always been true. So nice to be good For someone like you. I'm staying at home, happy to be on the shelf. A cozy chair For solitaire, Perhaps a book or two; When things are slow, The radio— Ah! How can I be blue? There's plenty to do, So much to think of. There's heaven in view, For it's really love. I'm staying at home, happy to be by myself. Also recorded by Erskine Butterfield and His Blues Boys, 1940.
