(Louis Jordan, Timmie Rodgers)
Knock me a kiss, you`ll never miss
When I`m ready to go.
But if you can`t smile and say yes,
Please don`t cry and say no!
Squeeze me a squoze in these fine clothes,
Mmmm...I love you so.
But if you can`t smile and say yes,
Please don`t cry and say no!
When I ask for a date, the answer is no.
You don`t know what you`re saying.
Don`t you know the war`s on,
Everything is rationed,
How `bout that jive, keep me alive?
Baby, let bygones be bygones,
`Cause men are scarce as nylons.
And if you can`t smile and say yes,
Please don`t cry and say no!
~interlude~
Baby, let bygones be bygones,
`Cause men are scarce as nylons.
And if you can`t smile and say yes,
Please don`t cry and say no, no, no, baby
Please don`t cry and say no.
