Lyrics
YES - I can rise to the big occasion
Where chance intersects preparation
Or at least I'll be the loudest in the room
YES - I'm scared of death by elevator
And I'm terrified by the down escalator
I saw one lead a woman to her doom
YES - I believe in the present tense
I trust the authority of the senses
Always seemed to me you could do worse
YES - A true believer might really rock it
But I'm wary of the word of a hopeless prophet
Cause the kool-aid ain't no way to quench a thirst
So I say YES, YES and drop to my knees
I'm weak, wild and I whisper pretty please
I wonder what the hell I've heard
Cause YES is the sexiest word
YES - I nod hard and agree with my lover
When the news provokes him to wildly utter
"Hell yeah, people, don't just do something, sit there."
YES - he's talking how to get on track
Cause we all want our country back
But I'm thinking 'bout the way he shapes the air
So I say YES, YES, and he drops to his knees
He's weak, wild and he whispers pretty please
He wonders what the hell he's heard
Cause YES is the sexiest word
YES--if you love your life and don't complain
Would you still buy a ticket on the gravy train
That is, if they ever went on sale?
YES - We have put a price on all creation
Adjusted for annual inflation
What would you do if you knew you'd never fail?
Would you say YES, YES and drop to your knees
Be weak, wild and whisper pretty please
Would you wonder what the hell you've heard
Cause YES is the sexiest word
