Yeh Yeh Lyrics


Every evening, when all my day's work is through
I call my baby, and ask him what shall we do
I mention movies, but he don't seem to dig that
And then he asks me, why don't I come to his flat
And have some supper and let the evening pass by
By playing records besides a groovy hi-fi
I say Yeh Yeh, and that's what I say
I say yeh yeh

My baby loves me, she gets a feeling so fine
And when she love me, she makes me know that she's mine
And when she kisses, I feel the fire get hot
She never misses, she gives it all that she's got
And when she asks me if everything is okay
I got my answer, the only thing I can say
I say yeh yeh, that's what I say
I say yeh yeh

We'll play a melody and
Turn the lights down low so that none can see
We gotta do that, we gotta do that
We gotta do that, we gotta do that
And there'll be no one else alive
In all the world 'cept you and me
Yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh
Yeh yeh, yeh yeh

Pretty baby, I never knew such a thrill
Just thought I'd tell you, because I'm trembling still
But pretty baby, I want you all for my own
I think I'm ready to leave those others alone
Don't need to ask me if everything is OK
I got my answer, the only thing I can say
I say yeh yeh, that's what I say
I say yeh yeh, that's what I say
I say yeh yeh

We'll play a melody and
Turn the lights down low so that none can see
We gotta do that, we gotta do that
We gotta do that, we gotta do that
And there'll be no one else alive
In all the world 'cept you and me
Yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh yeh, yeh yeh

Oh pretty baby, I never knew such a thrill
Just thought I'd tell you, because I'm trembling still
But pretty baby, I want you all for my own
I think I'm ready to leave those others alone
Don't need to ask me if everything is okay
I got my answer, the only thing I can say
I say yeh yeh, that's what I say
I say yeh yeh, that's what I say
I say yeh yeh, that's what I say
I say yeh yeh
That's what I say, I say yeh yeh
That's what I say, I say yeh yeh
That's what I say, yeah

Yeh Yeh Song Chart
  • This song hit #1 in UK due to heavy airplay at Radio Caroline, a pirate radio station broadcasting from ships in international waters that was formed for the expressed purpose of playing this.
  • In the US, this was featured in a Chrysler commercial.
  • Georgie Fame's real name: Clive Powell. In 1960 Powell had his name changed by his manager Larry Parnes to Georgie Fame, and was then put in charge of Billy Fury's backing band, the Famous Flames (not to be confused with James Brown's first group). He was 17 at the time.
  • Georgie Fame (from 1000 UK #1 Hits by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh): "It was recorded originally by Mongo Santamaria. Jon Hendricks put lyrics to it and recorded it live at The Newport Jazz Festival. I played it up and down the country for months before we recorded it. We were wondering what to do as a single and somebody said, 'Why don't you do 'Yeh Yeh?' and it went down well."
  • Georgie Fame went on to have several more Top 20 hits in the UK through the rest of the 1960s including 2 more #1s: "Get Away" and "Ballad Of Bonnie And Clyde." (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England, for above 2)
