Ain't Misbehavin' from Senior Recital by Fats Waller/ arr. Grace Affie
This song, written and performed by Fats Waller in 1929, showcases a piano style called stride piano. Stride piano consists of the left hand playing the root and fifth on beats one and three, respectively, followed by a chord on beats and two and four. This creates the effect that there are either four hands at the keys, or other instruments accompanying you. The right hand plays either the melody or a counter melody over the left hand. This is my arrangement.

Lyrics
No one to talk with, all by myself
No one to walk with, but I'm happy on the shelf.
Ain't misbehavin', I'm savin' my love for you.
I know for certain the one I love.
I'm through with flirtin', it's just you I'm thinkin' of.
Ain't misbehavin', I'm savin' my love for you.
Like Jack Horner in the corner
Don't go nowhere, what do I care?
Your kisses are worth waitin' for;
Believe me.
I don't stay out late, don't care to go.
I'm home about eight just me and my radio.
Ain't misbehavin', I'm savin' my love for you.
