YEA BOO
(Curtis / Kassel)


Anita O'Day - 1950



If you like it, holler......(YEA!)
If you dont, holler.........(BOO!)

I know a tavern in a town (YEA!)
But today they closed it down (BOO!)
Ah, but it opens up tonight (YEA!)
Without a single drink in sight (BOO!)

All the drinks are on the house (YEA!)
All the water you can drink (BOO!)
But the sandwiches are free (YEA!)
To ev'ryone but you and me (BOO!)

Yea Boo, Yea Boo, it's lots of fun to do
If you like it, holler Yea
If you don't, ya holler Boo

There's no drinking (BOO!)
Only Champagne (YEA!)
No glasses (BOO!)
Buckets (YEA!)
Buckets with holes in them (BOO!)
Only the holes are on top (YEA!)
Only three dancing girls (BOO!)
Two dresses (YEA!)
For each girl (BOO!)
Made of cellophane (YEA!)
Only one pretty girl (BOO!)
Foe evry man (YEA!)
You can't take 'em home (BOO!)
They take you home (YEA!)

(Yea Boo, Yea Boo, it's lots of fun to do)
If you like it, holler Yea
If you don't, ya holler Boo

I know a taven in a town (YEA!)
But there's not a drink around (BOO!)
All the drinks are served inside (YEA!)
And the joint is open wide (BOO!)
