Please don't cry and say no, no, no, baby
'Cause men are scarce as nylons
Baby, let bygones be bygones
Baby, let bygones be bygones
Don't you know the war's on
How 'bout that jive, keep me alive?
And if you can't smile and say yes
Please don't cry and say no
But if you can't smile and say yes
Please don't cry and say no
'Cause men are scarce as nylons
Please don't cry and say no
When I'm ready to go
When I ask for a date, the answer is no
Everything is rationed
Mmm, I love you so
Knock me a kiss, you'll never miss
And if you can't smile and say yes
