My Baby Said Yes (Yip Yip De Hootie)
Bing Crosby · Other Songs - Bing Crosby
Well, tell me Bing
Tell me what it's all about?
I found my one idea
And this time I'm sure it's real
Yip yip de hootie
Got me a beauty
She sure is a dream
My baby said yes
She said yes, she said yes
She didn't say no
Cock cock-a-doodle
You're off your noodle
You're way off the beam
?Cause baby said yes
She said yes, she said yes
She couldn't say go
Knock me a daisy
Now what would I do
With a daisy, all day?
You wear it and bear it
There, you sound kinda crazy
I'm happy that way
Hi diddle diddle
March 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
Yip yip yip de hootie
Got me a beauty
She sure is a dream
My baby said yes
She said yes, she said yes
She didn't say no
Cock-a-doodle
Off my noodle
Off the beam
?Cause baby said yes
She said yes, she said yes
She didn't say go
Knock me a daisy
That sure was a daisy
That one was hazy
But I'm happy that way
Hi diddle diddle
March 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
She couldn't say no, no, no

The track, often associated with the 'Hootie' dance craze of the late 1930s and early 1940s, showcases Crosby's ability to balance warmth and rhythm. As a solo artist, Crosby frequently collaborated with session musicians to create recordings that defined the popular music landscape of the time. This particular work highlights his signature approach to balladry and upbeat numbers, capturing the optimism and musical sophistication that made him a leading figure in American recording history during the pre-war period.
