Artist/Band: The Kinks
Lyrics for Song: Yes Sir, No Sir
Lyrics for Album: Arthur or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire [1969]



Yes Sir, no Sir

Where do I go Sir

What do I do Sir

What do I say



Yes Sir, no Sir

Where do I go Sir

What do I do Sir

How do I behave



Yes Sir, no Sir

Permission to speak Sir

Permission to breathe Sir

What do I say, how do I behave, what do I say



So you think that you've got ambition

Stop your dreaming and your idle wishing

You're outside and there ain't no admission

To our play

Pack up your ambition in your old kit bag

Soon you'll be happy with a packet of fags

Chest out stomach in

Do what I say, do what I say

Yes right away



Yes Sir, no Sir

Where do I go Sir

What do I do Sir

What do I say



Yes Sir, no Sir

Permission to speak Sir

Permission to breathe Sir

What do I say, how do I behave, what do I say



Doesn't matter who you are

You're there and there you are

Everything Is in its place

Authority must be maintained

And then we know exactly where we are

Let them feel that they're important to the cause

But let them know that they are fighting for their homes

Just be sure that they're contributing their all

Give the scum a gun and make the bugger fight

And be sure to have deserters shot on sight

If he dies we'll send a medal to his wife



Yes Sir, no Sir

Please let me die Sir

I think this life is affecting my brain

Yes Sir, no Sir

Three bags full Sir

What do I do Sir, what do I say

What do I say, how do I behave, what do I say
