“Do you really want a Yes-man?”
And to that he answered no.
“Someone who’ll pay you compliments?”
He answered, “I don’t…no?”

They took that as a sanction
To extend their reprimands
He didn’t want a Yes-man now
He’s stuck in No-man land.

So when he meets his sidekick
Straw hair and rheumy eyes
He’ll let himself be hoodwinked by
A fool in bad disguise.

“I can be your Yes-man.”
To that he’ll mutter no.
“I’ll pay you phony compliments.”
He’ll whisper, "Please don’t go."
