Lyrics
I feel so happy, I want to shout
I want to tell you what it’s all about
I found my one idea
And this time I know it’s real
Chorus
Yip yip de hootie, got me a beauty
She sure is a dream
My baby said yes
She said yes, she said yes
Yes, she didn’t say no
Cock cock-a-doodle
I’m off my noodle
I’m way off the beam
My baby said yes
She said yes, she said yes
She didn’t say go
Knock me a daisy, pick it all day
Tell me I’m crazy, I’m happy that way
Hi diddle diddle
Marched down the middle
And now we’re a team
‘Cause baby said yes
She said yes, she said yes
Yes, she couldn’t say no
Chorus
Yip yip de hootie, found me a cutie
And boy am I proud
My baby said yes
He said yes, he said yes
Yes, he didn’t say no
Hey, hey, we’re happy, me and my pappy
We’re up on a cloud
My baby said yes
He said yes, he said yes
He didn’t say go
Fetch me some taffy, chew it like mad
Holler I’m daffy, okay, is that bad?
Ding dong I’m singing, church bells are ringing
We’re dodging the crowd
‘Cause baby said yes
He said yes, he said yes
Yes, he couldn’t say no
