Tell Me A Story
Junior:
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
Father:
Oh, worry, worry, weary ends my day
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
Junior:
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
Father:
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 ...
Junior:
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
Father:
Once upon a time I remember long ago
Junior:
Don't go back in history your memory's kinda slow
Father:
Stop your noisy talkin' until I finish with my tale
Once upon a ...
Junior:
Upon a what ...
Father:
Upon your back you'll get a swat
Junior:
Tell me about the fish you caught
That's was bigger than a whale
Junior:
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
Father:
Here's a tale you'll never forget [Tap, Tap, Tap]
Junior:
Ouch!
My tails all red
Father:
And now get up to bed
Junior:
Ha! Ha! Come on Daddy
Tell me a story
Hee! Hee!
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
Father:
Oh, worry, worry, weary ends my day
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
Junior:
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

Played a little poker the time had passed me by

Up the stairs sayin' a prayer

Tell me a story, tell me a story
Tell me a story, remember what you said
