I Said No - Jimmy Dorsey, Bob Eberly, Helen O'Connell

There I stood in her doorway so boldly

And I whispered a pleasure she’d miss!

Though at first she refused very coldly

How long can a lady resist?

How long can a lady resist?

She said «No!», I said «Please!»

She said «No!», I said «Please!»

She said «No!», I said «Please, pretty baby!»

She said «No!», I said «Why?»

She said «No!», I said «Why?»

She said «No!», I said «Try!»

She said «Maybe!»

I said «Now?», she said «Well!»

I said «Ah, this is swell!»

And the way she looked at me was a crime!

And at last, you can guess

She said «Yes yes yes yes yes!»

Words she really meant to say all the time!

I said «No!», he said «Please!»

I said «No!», he said «Please!»

I said «No!», he said «Please, pretty baby!»

I said «No!», he said «Why?»

I said «No!», he said «Why?»

I said «No!», he said «Try!»

I said «Maybe!»

He said «Now?», I said «Well!»

He said «Ah, this is swell

And you’ll never know how much it will mean;

So at last, confess!»

I said «Yes yes yes yes yes!»

That’s how I subscribed to Liberty magazine!
