The Nat King Cole Trio - If You Can't Smile and Say Yes (Please Don't Cry and Say No) lyrics

(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! 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
