Yes, yes, my baby said yes, yes
I’m glad she said yes, yes instead of no, no
Next Sunday, I didn’t say Monday
It’s gotta be Sunday, we’re ready to go
So ga-ga, we’re gonna go ga-ga
My baby went ga-ga, she told me so
Yes, yes, my baby said yes, yes
I’m glad she said yes, yes instead of no, no

I'm on my way,

I'm busy 'cause I'm on my way,
Don't stop me now, I must be on my way!
(Where are you going?)
Look!
I'm gonna do that certain thing,
I'm gonna buy a wedding ring!
(But Eddie!)
I'm gone but I don't care,
Got a brand new love affair!

Yes, yes,

I'm glad she said yes, yes,
Instead of no,no!

We're goin' to Niagara,
When we're at Niagara,
A-bodey-oh-doh!

We're gonna do things,
We're gonna do new things,
My honey loves new things,
She told me so!
Yes, yes,

Instead of no!
Jealous.
She's terribly jealous,
'Cause I'm one of those fellas
who's a gigolo!

She's jealous of Swanson,
And not only Swanson,
But Clara Bow!
Yes yes yes yes yes,
My honey, she said yes yes yes,
I'm glad that she said yes yes yes,
Instead of no no!

It's gotta be dance date,
Wherever you go, you go!

Go ga-ga,

Oh yes, yes,

I'm glad about yes, yes,
Instead of no,no!

I'm glad she said yes,
Instead of no,no!

Yes, yes,
The lady says yes, yes,
I'm glad she said yes, yes,
instead of no, no!
Your folks,
Can we live with your folks?
They're living with their folks,
'Cause they haven't got dough!

A cook book,
I'll get a new cook book,
Have you got a cheque book?
I want to know!
Yes, yes,
The lady says yes, yes,
I'm glad she said yes, yes,
instead of no, no!
