MY BABY SAID YES (YIP YIP DE HOOTIE)
(Robin / Walters)

Bing Crosby, Louis Jordan & His Tympany Five - 1944



(In brackets = Louis Jordan)

I feel so happy, I wanna shout
(Well, tell me Bing
Tell me what it’s all about?)
I found my one idea
And this time I’m sure it’s real

Yip yip de hootie
Got me a beauty
She sure is a dream
My baby said yes
She said yes, she said yes
She didn’t say no

(Cock cock-a-doodle
You’re off your noodle
You’re way off the beam
‘Cause baby said yes
She said yes, she said yes
She couldn’t say no)

Knock me a daisy
(Now what would I do with a daisy, old thing?)
You wear it and bear it
(There, you sound kinda crazy)
I’m happy that way

Hi diddle diddle
March down the middle
And now we’re a team
‘Cause baby said yes
She said yes, she said yes
Yes, she couldn’t say no

Yip yip yip de hootie
Got me a beauty
She sure is a dream
My baby said yes
She said yes, she said yes
She didn’t say no

Cock-a-doodle off my noodle
Off the beam
‘Cause baby said yes
She said yes, she said yes
She didn’t say no

Knock me a daisy
That sure was a daisy
That one was hazy
But I’m happy that way

Hi diddle-diddle
March down the middle
And now we’re a team
‘Cause baby said yes
She said yes, she said yes
Yes, she couldn’t say no
She couldn’t say no
No, no
