She Didn't Say Yes

(Jerome Kern / Otto Harbach)

Masqueraders (Savoy Hotel Orpheans)

From the Broadway musical, The Cat And The Fiddle-Selection Part 2

She didn't say 'Yes', she didn't say 'No'
She didn't say 'Stay', she didn't say 'Go'
She only knew that he had spied her there
And then she knew he sat beside her there

At first there was heard not one little word
Then coyly she took one sly little look
Then something awoke and smiled inside
Her heart began beating wild inside

So, what did she do, I leave it to you
She did just what you'd do, too
