Lyrics
Chorus
Oh baby, Oh baby
Don’t say “No,” say “Maybe”
That’s just as good as “Yes” to me
Start learnin’ your lesson
Stop “No-in'”, keep “Yes-in'”
And you can leave the rest to me
Until you say “Let’s look for flats”
I’ll follow you until my soxies are spats
So baby, Oh, baby
Don’t say “No,” say “Maybe”
And baby, you’ll be mine
Chorus
Oh baby, Oh baby
Don’t say “No,” say “Maybe”
That’s just as good as “Yes” to me
Start learnin’ your lesson
Stop “No-in'”, keep “Yes-in'”
And you can leave the rest to me
Each evening when we’re home alone
I hope you’ll let me practice my saxophone
So baby, Oh, baby
Don’t say “No,” say “Maybe”
And baby, you’ll be mine
Chorus
Oh baby, Oh baby
Don’t say “No,” say “Maybe”
That’s just as good as “Yes” to me
Start learnin’ your lesson
Stop “No-in'”, keep “Yes-in'”
And you can leave the rest to me
I hope you’ll let me now and then
Go in a smoking car and sit with the men
So baby, Oh, baby
Don’t say “No,” say “Maybe”
And baby, you’ll be mine
