Now then, what's all this noise?
Listen, boys, 
tomorrow Mister Brown arrives from America 
You all know what to say to him 
(Yes, Mister Brown)

Every day, every way, we must obey
Our Mister Brown of USA
What he says, 
what he does must be quite okay
To please him, 
there's only one way

You must say "Yes" to Mister Brown
No more, no less to Mister Brown
He is the great white chief, you know
And so no one must say him "No"

If you would have our branch progress
You merely bow and acquiesce
So if he says black's white and day is night 
You just say "Yes"

(Why, hello Mister Brown)
(Oh, how do you do, Mister Brown)
(How do you do, Mister Brown)
(Top o' the mornin', Mister Brown, how ya keepin'?) 
(Yes, Mister Brown) 
(Definitely, Mister Brown) 
(Absolutely, Mister Brown) 
(Positively, Mister Brown) 
(Yes, Mister Brown)
