There I stood in her doorway so boldly

And I whispered a pleasure she'd miss

Though at first she refused very coldly

How long can a lady resist

How long can a lady resist

She said No I said Please

She said No I said Please

She said No I said Please pretty baby

She said No I said Why

She said No I said Why

She said No I said Try

She said Maybe

I said Now she said Well

I said Ah this is swell

And the way she looked at me was a crime

And at last you can guess

She said Yes yes yes yes yes

That's the words she really meant to say all the time

I said No he said Please

I said No he said Please

I said No he said Please pretty baby

I said No he said Why

I said No he said Why

I said No he said Try

I said Maybe

He said Now I said Well

He said Ah this is swell

And you'll never know how much it will mean

So at last I confess

I said Yes yes yes yes yes

That's how I subscribed to Liberty magazine
