(louis jordan, timmie rodgers)

Knock me a kiss, youll never miss
When Im ready to go.
But if you cant smile and say yes,
Please dont cry and say no!

Squeeze me a squoze in these fine clothes,
Mmmm...i love you so.
But if you cant smile and say yes,
Please dont cry and say no!

When I ask for a date, the answer is no.
You dont know what youre saying.
Dont you know the wars 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 cant smile and say yes,
Please dont cry and say no!

Baby, let bygones be bygones,
cause men are scarce as nylons.
And if you cant smile and say yes,
Please dont cry and say no, no, no, baby
Please dont cry and say no.
