"She Didn't Say Yes" is a 1931 song composed by Jerome Kern, with lyrics written by Otto Harbach.

It was written for the show The Cat and the Fiddle (1931).

Notable recordings

  • Ella Fitzgerald - Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Jerome Kern Songbook (1963)
  • Margaret Whiting - Margaret Whiting Sings the Jerome Kern Songbook (1960)
  • Harold Macmillan - In the early 1960s, the British prime minister quoted several lines from the song in a speech, mocking the supposed indecisiveness of a political opponent. The satirical magazine Private Eye took a recording of his words, put a backing track to it, and published it as a disc.
