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

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
