"**Ain't Misbehavin**" is a song broadcast on Appalachia Radio in *Fallout 76*. It is performed by Fats Waller and was written by Waller, Andy Razaf and Harry Brooks in 1929. The version that plays on Appalachia Radio is a re-recording that Waller made for the 1943 film *Stormy Weather* with Zutty Singleton and His Orchestra. Waller died a few months after the film's release and the full recording was posthumously issued in 1947 advertised as "'Fats' Waller's last record."

## 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

[Instrumental]

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
