Tell Me a Story

Tell Me a Story Lyrics

Tell me a story, tell me a story
Tell me a 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
Comes the time to go home without my 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 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 your 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

Ouch
My tails all red

And now get up to bed

Ha, ha come on Daddy
Tell me a story
Hee, hee
