If You Can't Smile & Say Yes Lyrics


Nat King Cole If You Can't Smile & Say Yes

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
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 is 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
