If You Can't Smile and Say Yes

If You Can't Smile and Say Yes - Nat King Cole

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

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

Baby Please don't cry and say no
