Ain't Misbehavin'

"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."

Before appearing in Fallout 76, the song was originally referenced in the Fallout: New Vegas quest Ant Misbehavin'.

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
