Nat King Cole Trio - If You Can't Smile And Say Yes

So I was in a cafe having soup for lunch. After they brought the soup I noticed there was no bread so went for some and then saw there was no butter so returned again. As I recall it, I remember thinking "it's like there's a war on and everything is rationed". Then, and this is the weird part, I heard coming from the sound system the words "Don't you know the war's on, Everything is rationed," from the above song, which I had never heard before. I could be confused there but as I recall that is exactly how it happened. I'm still figuring out what to make of the experience but I'm not losing sleep over it.

Lyrics

Knock me a kiss, you'll never miss
When I'm ready to go.
But if you can't smile and say yes,
Please don't cry and say no!

Squeeze me a squoze in these fine clothes,
Mmmm...I love you so.
But if you can't smile and say yes,
Please don't cry and say no!

When I ask for a date, the answer is no.
You don't know what you're saying.
Don't you know the war's on,
Everything is rationed, 
How 'bout that jive, keep me alive?

Baby, let bygones be bygones,
'Cause men are scarce as nylons.
And if you can't smile and say yes,
Please don't cry and say no!

~interlude~

Baby, let bygones be bygones,
'Cause men are scarce as nylons.
And if you can't smile and say yes,
Please don't cry and say no, no, no, baby
