Thread Name: Lyr Req: Yes, Suh (Edgar Dowell/Andy Razaf)
Subject: Lyr Req: 'Yes, Suh'
I'm looking for the words to this old jazz tune, known variously as "Yes, Suh" or "Yes, Sir." It's simple premise is a series of one-line questions involving the singer's love interest, etc., followed by the response of the title ("Did I leave without my hat? Yes, Sir.") I've heard it by Louis Armstrong and Eddie Condon, but neither version is easy to transcribe. Anyone know this?
