If You Can't Smile And Say Yes

If You Can't Smile And Say Yes - Louis Jordan

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

Baby

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 about that jive

Keep me alive

Let bygones be bygones

'Cause men are scarce as nylons

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 about that jive

Keep me alive

Baby let bygones be bygones

'Cause men are scarce as nylons

You can't smile and say yes

Please don't cry and say no no no no

Please don't cry and say no
