Tell Me A Story Songtext

[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 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 Come 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 [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) [Father:] And now get up to bed [Junior:] Ha, ha come on Daddy Tell me a story Hee, hee
