2. Juni 2017 · Merline Johnson (born c. 1912 or 1918,date of death unknown) was an African-American blues singer in the 1930s and 1940s, billed as "The Yas Yas Girl". Yas yas was a euphemism for ass in hokum blues songs, such as Blind Boy Fuller's "Get Yer Yas Yas Out" (*) (*) 'Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!':
