about

Taken from "Toehider Too!"
This song is about a man who must say yes twice in a row.

lyrics

yes.yes.
I must say yes.
twice in a row.
yes,yes.

What started as a humble observation
Now completely owns and all-consumes my life
I can't hold it off for long, coz the urge is much too strong
I must affirm it, my agreeance, why?
(tell me why!)
It started with a friendly conversation.
Just the 2 of us engaged in repartee
You turned and asked of me, "would one like a cup of tea?"
To which I replied, "oh my, I must say

yes.yes
I must say yes.
twice in a row.
yes.yes.

I'm sorry that I wrecked the celebrations
And made all your friends and family feel ill at ease
And I do apologize for being too extreme, but
It's just comes out, most inappropriately

But it's nothing that your sister couldn't handle
(ooh I bet she can handle it!)
'n your old lady never made it to her eightieth a par-ha-teee.
Your father couldn't find the wind to blow the candles.
It's not like everything else was cream cheese...

So dear old boy, if it were up to me
I'm afraid that I would, I'd say

yes.yes.
I must say yes.
twice in a row.
yes...yes.

I've tried too hard to work my way around it.
"I concur" or simply that I must agree.
But see, it simply won't suffice, I just gotta say this twice.
..or maybe MORE would really drive it home, y'think?

And fuck me if this isn't getting harder!
The whole debacle's gone completely wrong
From a single puny voice
TO A MILLION VOICES STRONG
I've just confirmed what I've known all along...

(gotta say yes, I must say yes yes, I gotta say yes...)

yes.
yes.
I must say yes.
twenty two times.
yes.yes.yes.yes.yes.yes.yes.yes.yes.yes.yes.yes.yes.yes.yes.yes.yes.yes.yes.yes.yes.yes.
