[Verse 1]
Yes is a good word, no is a bad word
The preferred word in any kind of situation is
Yes I can, oh yes I'd like to do that
Yes, the world's increasingly absurd
[Verse 2]
Yes, yes, yes is a good word
Yes, yes, yes is a very special word
[Verse 3]
Yes I will do that, yes I will go there
Yes I will live a good and a true life
Yes I'll survive whatever you throw at me
Yes, the world is grand
[Verse 4]
When there's a moment, rather than shake it
Take it in your hand
Yes I will, yes I can, yes I might
Yes I will put up an honest fight
[Verse 5]
Yes I'll be fearless, yes I'll be honest
Yes I will live my life with emotion
Yes I love challenge, yes, and devotion
Yes I will survive
[Verse 6]
Yes is the word that opens the door
To being most alive
Yes there's joy, yes there's love
Yes there's zing, yes I absolutely have to sing
[Verse 7]
Yes, yes, yes is a good word (Yes, yes, yes)
Yes, yes, yes is a very special word
[Verse 8]
Except when a stranger says get into my car
Say no (No)
Or when someone says would you like to lose your virginity
Someone with whom you have no affinity
Say no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
[Verse 9]
What is this nonsense with virginity, it's a goddamn children's show
I never know what the hell you're writing about, Schwinn
I want a song, a song
Yes, yes I will do my homework, yes I will work in the garden
Yes will go with my grandparents to Israel
[Verse 10]
Instead I get this nonsense about somebody who loses their virginity
To those with whom they have no affinity
Affinity, it's a goddamn children's show
Alright, look, you're sick, you're in a hospital, you got this brain thing
But you know what? I'm gonna get my son to write the song
[Verse 11]
Where's my son?
Where's my son?
Where's my son?
