YES INDEEDY (HE DO)
Annette Hanshaw - 1930
Good boy, bad boy, happy or sad boy
They're so nice to see
Gee, I like 'em all, still I never fall
Smart boys, down boys, looking for fun boys
Are good company
But when I'm lookin' for a real time
There's just one for me
Does he do what I want him to
At the time I want him to
Yes indeedy, he do
And then when I'm all set
Does he wanna pet at the time I wanna pet
Yes indeedy, he do
And that's the reason just why
The reason that I started falling
And when he showed me the ring
I said the right thing without stalling
He looks ahead to the day we're wed
On the day we said we'd wed
Yes indeedy, he do
(Instrumental Break)
When I say so, does he say "Let's go"
Anyplace I wanna go
Yes indeedy, he do
And does that baby know how to give me dough
Just the time that I need dough
Yes indeedy, he do
And when we're keeping a date
Staying out late, my desire
Just winks his sleepy blue eye
And says, "Honey, I must retire"
When shadows creep and he goes to sleep
Does he really go to sleep
Yes indeedy, he do
That's all!
