Yes Songtext
von John Kander

Yes
Say yes

Life keeps happening every day
Say yes
When opportunity comes your way
You can′t start wondering what to say
You'll never win if you never play

Say yes

There′s mink and marigold right outside
Long white Cadillacs you can ride
But nothing's gained if there's nothing tried

Say yes

Don′t say why
Say why not
What lies beyond what is, is not
So what?

Say yes


Yes I can
Yes I will
Yes I′ll take a sip
Yes I'll touch
Yes of course
Yes how nice
Yes I′d happily thank you very much

Yes
Oh yes

There's lots of chaff but there′s lots of wheat
Say yes (yes)
You might get mugged as you walk the street
But on the other hand you might greet
That handsome stranger you've longed to meet

Say yes (yes)

Don′t say why (don't say why)
Say why not (say why not)
What lies beyond what is, is not (is not)
So what (so what)

Say yes

Yes


Yes I'll walk
Yes I′ll look
Yes I′d love to do such and such
Yes I'll try
Yes I′ll dare
Yes I'll fly
Yes I care
Yes I′ll happily thank you very much
Yes
Oh yes

Oh yes

You can't look back on a chance that′s lost
Say yes (yes)
The dice mean nothing unless they're tossed
The throw is usually worth the cost
The hope of summer denies the frost

Say yes (yes)

Yes I am
Yes I'll be
Yes I′ll go
Oh yes
Yes
Yes

Good night
Good night
Thank you
