Tell Me a Story

Tell Me a Story - Jimmy Boyd/Frankie laine

Tell me story tell me story

Tell me story remember what you said

You promised me you said you would

You got to give in so i'll be good

Tell me a story then i'll go to bed

Oh worry worry weary ends my day

Time the time to go home without my raise in pay

Home by the fire where a man can just relax

Sippers there by the chair not a worry not a care

Along comes junior swinging his little axe

Tell me a story tell me a story

Tell me a story remember what you said

Tell me about the birds and bees

How do you make a chicken sneeze

Tell me a story then i'll go to bed

Came home so late one evening last july

Played a little poker the time had passed me by

Shoes in my hand and my darlin wife in bed

Up the stairs sayin a prayer

Then a voice comes through the air

Hi you there daddy

Remember what you said

Tell me a story tell me a story

Tell me a story remember what you said

Tell me how your eye got black

Because the doorway hit you back

Tell me a story then i'll go to bed

Once upon a time i remember long ago

Don't go back in history your memory's kinda slow

Stop your noisy talkin until i finish with my tale

Once upon a

Upon a what

Upon your back you'll get a swat

Tell me about the fish you caught

That's was bigger than a whale

Tell me a story tell me a story

Tell me a story remember what you said

You promised me you said you would

You gotta give in so i'll be good

Here's a tale you'll never forget

Tap tap tap

Ouch my tails all red

And now get up to bed

Ha ha come on daddy tell me a story hee hee
