Tell Me a Story

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

Tell me a story then I'll go to bed

Oh worry worry weary ends ma day

Comes the time to go home

Without ma raise in pay

Home by the fire where a man can just relax

Slippers 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 so late one evening last July

Played a little the 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 there daddy remember what you said

Tell me a story tell me a story

Tell me how your eyes are glassed

Because it's only if your bad

Tell me a story then I'll go to bed

Once a upon a time I remember long ago

Don't go back in years through your memories kinda slow

Stop your noisy talkin' till I've finished with ma tale

Once upon

Upon a what

Upon your back you'll get a swat

Tell me about the fishy cause it's 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 so I'll be good

Here's a tale you'll never forget

Whack whack whack

Ouch ma tails all red

And now get off to bed

Aw come on daddy tell me a story hee hee
